Overview
History
Swiggit & Co. was formed by a group of winemakers who believe it’s important to make delicious wine to enjoy every day.
Vintage
2017 was a late and wet vintage in McLaren Vale. Following on from a wet winter, spring and summer were hot, with late budburst. The vines ripened throughout February and harvest began in March. The vines held large canopies with average yields. Above average rainfall in winter led to elegant, refined and delicate fruit.
