Sarah Fagan and her team have crafted two terrific 2024s from the 30-plus-year-old Swallowfield vineyard in Gembrook, which, significantly, TarraWarra have taken out a long-term lease on. 100% destemmed and fermented on skins for two and a half weeks. Deeply scented with aromas of black cherry intermingled with subtle potpourri and spices such as cardamom and clove. The palate is ripe, with excellent depth of fruit and slippery, persistent tannins rounding out a delicious wine to drink now and over the next four to six years. (96) PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Companion

This is a complete change of pace in terms of TarraWarra and Pinot Noir.

This is a pretty exciting wine. It’s very Upper Yarra in that it’s herbal, autumnal and juicy, with lightness as part of its armoury. But then it’s also reductive, strong of tannin and of push, complex, smoky, captivating, and quite beautifully persistent. If this is the new way of TarraWarra then I am on-board. The linger of bright fruit, twiggy herbs and general spice characters here is quite something. (95+) CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front

Tarrawarra Estate has entered an exciting new phase with the appointment of Sarah Fagan, whose experience across both Australia and the US has brought a renewed focus on site and detail. Since coming on board, Fagan has sharpened the estate’s lens on vineyard expression, leading to a greater emphasis on single-site bottlings that explore the nuances of Tarrawarra’s varied slopes and aspects. Wines like Southern Slope and Swallows Field reflect this shift—more precise, site-driven expressions that highlight subtle differences in exposure, soil and microclimate, while maintaining the estate’s hallmark balance and polish.
