We don’t know why we love it. Maybe we’re just addicted to Syrah, to the magic of the Southern Hemisphere, to the juicy red cherries, to the ripe plums, to the chocolate flavors, and maybe to the licorice and the freshness of the herbs. No, we have no idea why we love it. Our minds are going nowhere!
The Place of Changing Winds winery is located in Victoria, Australia and its name is what the area’s first inhabitants, the Wurundjeri, gave it. The vineyards are almost unreal since they are located at an altitude of 500 meters and count more or less 45,000 roots of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which are cultivated manually and without the use of chemicals, while they are surrounded by dense forest.
Place of Changing Winds Syrah No2 is a blend of Syrah from two different locations. 66% comes from Heathcote with its famous red soils, while 33% from Harcourt. In both areas, the climate is warmer and so the grapes give intense aromatic elements and unique character. The use of 70% whole bunches created a masterful balance and vivacity, while the 12-month aging in a variety of barrels, enhanced its complexity. However, the fruit remained clean and juicy, due to its stay for a few months in the tank before bottling and the result is a wine that you will enjoy now, but also for the next 7 years.
But beware, Place of Changing Winds Syrah No2 is not just for trying one bottle. It is for continuous and highly addictive consumption!
Enjoy Responsibly (i.e. grab it while it is still available).
