- TASTING NOTE: “Here is 60% syrah from Heathcote and Harcourt with a bolstering remainder of pinot noir. A variety of vessels cajole the wine to bottle. This feels meaty and sleek in the same breath. A whiff of woody spices and undergrowth before a compote of forest berries with a high note of tart cherry. Similar to taste, a sluice of fine, grainy tannin in tow, on medium weight and very persistent. It’s a slurpier red with plenty of charisma and high drinkability.” 93 Points - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
- ABOUT THE WINE: Made only in suitable years, this wine is inspired by the era-defining Syrah/Pinot blends crafted by Hunter legend Maurice O’Shea in the 1940s and ’50s. This release is a blend of 40% Pinot from estate vines and 60% Syrah from Heathcote and Harcourt. It spent the first year in a mix of large and small oak barrels, mostly neutral, with the last phase of aging in steel tank and 600-litre Stockinger cask. It was bottled at the end of November 2023. The result is a bright, perfumed, juicy wine. Although delicious now, it will certainly age well.
- 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.
