Foreword - Ray Jordan WA Wine Journalist For nearly 200 years, the Swan Valley has been an important part of the West Australian wine scene. The wines have refl ected the rich cultural diversity and infl uences of those who arrived from distant shores in the early years, while evolving into more modern expressions of variety and style for contemporary tastes.
And the wines have never been better. As a regular judge at the Swan Valley Wine Show, I have seen how winemakers have remained true to the traditional styles such as those glorious Fortifi eds and the classic table wine varieties Verdelho, Chenin Blanc and Shiraz, while continuing to raise the quality bar. Younger winemakers have brought with them fresh thinking, creating a dynamic environment for the region’s wine culture. Small family-run vineyards and wineries are still an important part of the Valley, but signifi cant investment in facilities and venues has broadened its attraction as a major wine and food destination.

Swan Valley Signature Grape Varieties The signature grape varieties in the Swan Valley are Chenin Blanc, Verdelho and Shiraz which thrive in the Mediterranean style climate and produce wines with rich fl avour and freshness. Verdelho and Chenin Blanc are perfect to drink young and fresh. With cellaring, they develop an intense depth of fl avour and complexity that makes them ideal food wines.
The rich fl avours of Shiraz – plum, chocolate and spice – along with softness and length, make a wine that is approachable at an early age, but given more time to mature will intensify in richness and structure.
The luscious Fortifi ed wines have more than 150 years of tradition, and are some of the greatest wines made in the Swan Valley. Liqueur Muscat and Pedro Ximenez, blended from vintages aged for years in casks have an intensely rich, sweet, decadent fl avour and aroma of old oak barrels, honey and raisins. Left on the vines to ripen further, Verdelho and Shiraz are also made into delicious liqueur and Fortifi ed style wines. Liqueur Verdelho with its luscious fl avours of fi g, raisin, mocha and orange peel is one of the Swan Valleys most unique wine styles.
In addition to the signature varieties, Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, Grenache, Merlot, Durif, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo are just a few of the other grape varieties that are now grown and crafted into quality wines in the Swan Valley.
Remember to drink responsibly and appoint a designated driverto take you on the Swan Valley Fine Wine Trail.
