Within our winery lie barrels holding innovative parcels of fermenting and maturing grape juice. As a part of our Hashtag Range, this wine aims to showcase a point of difference and challenges the traditional conventions of winemaking.

This unique cool climate blend combines Riesling (55%), Pinot Gris (35%) and Gewurztraminer (10%) fermented on their skins, to capture and combine their texture, structure and stunning aromatics. It is unfiltered and unfined and so a fine deposit or haze may be present.

About Swinging Bridge Wines

Swinging Bridge is a winery based around family, striving to produce wines of excellence that exhibit the unique provenance of the Orange region.

From the estate’s position on the slopes surrounding Mount Canobolas (Gaana Bulla), winemaker Tom Ward’s craft reflects his enduring passion for high altitude winemaking, with a focus on the region’s quintessential varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir

Embracing innovation while grounded in heritage, Swinging Bridge’s wines are at the forefront of the Orange region’s development into a new frontier of celebrated cool-climate winemaking.

Our winemaker and Swinging Bridge owner, Tom Ward, is a passionate viticulturist and
winemaker, dedicated to producing quality cool-climate wines. Originally from Canowindra, Tom comes from a farming family spanning more than 150-years which led him to discover his passion for viticulture.

Now based in Orange with his wife Georgie and two children, Eliza and William, you will often find Tom tending to his vines, working hard in the winery or supporting operations in the cellar door.
