As always, the grapes were picked fully ripe, pressed firmly and sent straight to barrel (500- and 228-litre) and 220-litre glass Wineglobe for fermentation and aging. Malolactic fermentation was left to happen naturally. After 12 months in cask and glass, the wine was racked to tank for an additional eight months before being bottled at the end of November 2023. It will certainly age, gaining more honeyed characters, but it’s delicious now. It has the power and richness of previous releases, yet with good vibrancy thanks to Harcourt’s soils and climate and the inclusion of Roussanne in the blend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2022 No.2 Syrah\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis wine is a blend of Heathcote (66%) and Harcourt (34%) Syrah. Although this is the “entry-point” red, it gets the same attention to detail as the other cuvées, and even here, it has serious intensity, good tannins and ageworthiness. About 70% whole bunches were used, and the wine matured in a range of casks (primarily large Stockinger) for the first year before resting in tank for the rest of its maturation. It was bottled in late December 2023. It’s a spicy, cool Syrah\/Shiraz that will drink well young but can be aged with confidence\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2022 Harcourt Syrah\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 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 Place of Changing Winds 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smith \u0026 Sheth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53209239879964,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/2774\/3535\/files\/PlaceofChangingWines3-pack.png?v=1696558198"},{"product_id":"place-of-changing-winds-syrah-duo","title":"Dual Vintage Syrah Duo","description":"\u003cp\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 x 2022 No.2 Syrah\u003cbr\u003e1 x 2021 HeNo.2 Syrah\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2022 No.2 Syrah\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis wine is a blend of Heathcote (66%) and Harcourt (34%) Syrah.
