- TASTING NOTE: “50% whole bunch; two years in oak. An intense and utterly compelling wine, driven by the spice and outright perfume on the nose; then the elegant and medium body, with a minimum of 30 years riding on its superfine tannins and balance; the rare granitic sands are the key. 2642 bottles, 60 magnums produced.” 96 Points - James Halliday, The Weekend Australian
- ABOUT THE WINE: This is the second release from Harcourt. It comes from a very specific plot in Victoria’s Bendigo G.I., on the foothills of Mt Alexander. With its pure granite soils and mild climate, the POCW team believe that Harcourt is one of Australia's most exciting terroirs for Syrah. 50% whole bunches were used, and the wine underwent almost two years’ maturation. The initial period was in older 600- and 1,500-litre Stockinger casks, with the final eight months in 2000-litre Stockinger. It was bottled in late December 2023. It’s a wine that combines lifted perfume and finesse with excellent depth and fine structure.
- 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.
