Description

The NV Swift Cuvée Brut is a traditional method sparkling crafted from the highest vineyards in New South Wales, on the volcanic slopes of Mount Canobolas (Gaahna Bulla) in the Orange Wine Region. The Swift family saw the region's potential in 2009, betting big on its cool climate and rich volcanic soils to produce sparkling wines with exceptional finesse. A decade and a bit later, they’re making some of the most highly regarded sparkling wines in the country.

Winemaker Drew Tuckwell’s dedication shines here, with each bottle spending up to 96 months on lees to build that irresistible depth and richness. This is classic méthode traditionnelle at its finest, with a chardonnay-dominant blend balanced by pinot noir and a touch of reserve wines, giving complexity without overwhelming the bright citrus, baked brioche, and delicate mineral notes. With a restrained dosage, the NV Swift Cuvée Brut is pure, layered, and perfectly in tune with its high-altitude origins.

Already a mainstay in Tyson Stelzer's Sparkling Hall of Fame, this is a wine that’s all about elegance, cool-climate craftsmanship, and the kind of patience that only the finest sparkling producers have. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just feel like treating yourself, this bottle promises a masterclass in Australian sparkling.

"White peach, pomelo skin and nashi pear. Cider apples, cherry blossoms and crushed chalk. Calippo-like freshness. Mouth-watering acidity with a wash of white stone minerality and sea spray. Plenty of tension and precision here, with a real pureness to the orchard fruit."
- Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)

96 points - "53/32/15% pinot noir/chardonnay/pinot meunier based on the 2017 vintage with 14% reserve wines. Disgorged in October 2018; 4g/L dosage and 72 months lees ageing. White peach, pomelo skin and nashi pear. Cider apples, cherry blossoms and crushed chalk. Calippo-like freshness. Mouth-watering acidity with a wash of white stone minerality and sea spray. Plenty of tension and precision here, with a real pureness to the orchard fruit." - Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)

94 Points - "This is impressively fresh and youthful for a blend that has spent around six years on lees. Fruit drives the wine, with lemon/citrus aromas, honey notes and traces of flint, a whisper of bready development is all that reveals its age. Crisp and refreshing, refined and harmonious, without obvious sweetness, ensuring an appetising, more-ish taste. Excellent sparkling wine in a fresher, fruit-driven style." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

    Gotta be the Best for NSW sparkling

    This sparkling always surprises me, light floral and crisp with beautiful acidity and balance, off dry with apple, melon notes. Beautiful for spring/summer. If you want to support local then this is a must share

    Highly recommend

    Absolutely beautiful ! Lovely fruity flavour. Everyone who had it loved it.

Swift Sparkling wines are single vineyard, high elevation wines that sit alongside the best sparkling wines from across Australia. The Cuvée is usually chardonnay dominant but embraces the complexity that pinot noir and reserve wines can bring to the blend. Long lees ageing (approx 96 months) adds richness. Low dosage enables greater purity and expression.
