Cellaring Potential

Will certainly reward up to 10 years careful cellaring for those prepared to wait. If drinking now, decant for 1-2 hours for optimum enjoyment.

Enjoy With

On its own it’s that good a wine! Otherwise a good lamp rump roast or fatty BBQ lamp chops.

About Faber Vineyard

Recently recognised as an ‘Icon of the Swan Valley’ at the 2022 Swan Valley Wine Show Awards, John’s service to the resurrection of the Swan Valley as a unique, premium wine producing area has now been immortalised. Although only a relatively recent arrival to the Swan Valley, John Griffith has a deep understanding of the Swan Valley’s history and its strengths as this is shown through the wines he produces. Faber Vineyard, in Baskerville, was established in 1997 by John and his wife Jane Micallef.

John spent 10 years learning the skills of making highly drinkable wines in warm climates before arriving in the Swan Valley. He recognized that the Swan Valley was unique in its ability to produce delicate, refined white wines, smooth generously flavoured and long-lived red wines, and extremely rich luscious liqueur styles. As he refined his winemaking skills, he learnt about the proven grape varieties and wine styles that had over one hundred years of development and success in the Swan Valley.

John has chosen to embrace what are traditional varieties for the Swan Valley – Verdelho, Shiraz and Brown Muscat – as the “backbone” of Faber Vineyard. He has delivered his own interpretation of these varieties, all be it built on tradition, and set new standards of excellence. He has also innovated with new varieties, introducing Petit Verdot to the Swan, and new styles including his Chardonnay Blanc de Blanc.
