PLATINUM MEDAL – DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARDS 2026 'BEST AUSTRALIAN CUVEE'
BEST NSW SPARKLING 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025
Swift Sparkling is one of Australia’s best traditional method sparklings made from some of the highest vineyards in New South Wales on the slopes of the extinct volcano Mt Canobolas/Gaahna Bulla. In 2009 the Swift family recognised the potential of the Orange Wine Region to produce premium sparkling wines and the first Swift vintage was bottled in 2010. The high elevation and fertile volcanic soils of the Orange Wine Region provide the perfect growing conditions for sparkling varieties.
The Swift family’s dedication to traditional method sparkling is demonstrated by the patience required to ensure each bottle of Swift Sparkling has been aged to perfection before release.
Hand crafted by winemaker Drew Tuckwell, the range spends an average five years on lees with some up to ten years for the flagship Blanc de Blancs.
Australia’s Champagne expert, Tyson Stelzer, inducted the Swift range into his Sparkling Hall of Fame in 2016 as ‘the best sparkling wine brand in NSW’. Exceptional winemaking, cool climate craftsmanship and the luxury of time has created a trophy winning range of sparkling wine.
