- TASTING NOTE: “Close-planted vines. The wine rested in glass Wineglobes, the sentient alien looking pods that they are, and two oak casks. So elegant, so refined, poise and precision yet with flavour and depth. It opens with flickers of flinty mineral elements, toast and woody spices, sweet spice too, sugared almond, green apple, stone fruits and alpine herbal elements. The palate a good reflection of this, quite notable concentration and depth, a plushness trimmed with talc-like mineral pucker and a long, palate-staining, sweet spice finish. One of those wines you shake the last drops out of the bottle onto your tongue, or is that just me?” 96 Points - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
- ABOUT THE WINE: At this stage in the vineyard’s evolution, the estate’s close-planted Chardonnay vines have only given tiny yields. This has resulted in terrific concentration and power, while the climate has delivered mouth-watering freshness and drive. These two factors make for something unique. Sadly, there’s not much to go around. The wine was fermented and aged in Wineglobe (glass), one older barrique and one new 500-litre Dominque Laurent cask. It underwent malolactic fermentation and was bottled at the end of November 2023.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Place Of Changing Winds is the vineyard project of famed Australian wine importer and author, Robert Walters. Having spent three decades working with and learning from some of the worlds great wine producers, POCW is Roberts effort to put all that he has learned into practice. The result is an organically managed, high density vineyard in the Macedon Ranges, planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. From 2019 POCW has also produced Syrah and Marsanne from a vineyard in Heathcote that had originally been managed in collaboration with Rhone Valley legend Alain Graillot.
