[SOLD-OUT] Place of Changing Winds Tradition Syrah 2019

94 POINTS - WINE FRONT! 

 

"Matured mostly in large format oak and bottled (by gravity) without fining or filtration.

It’s a beautiful piece of craft. Beautiful fruit, beautiful savoury nuances, finessed tannin, convincing in every way. Black cherries, juicy plums, cloves, peppers and smoked herbs. The flavours hit and then spread. The tannin eggs the spread of flavour on. The finish leaves you satisfied and wanting more as if it’s one and the same. It takes a little while to open up, as most of the best wines do; quality loves air. Or wind, in this case. This is a garden of a wine, fertile, growing, friendly, generous. It makes good company." - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front

 

"This is the only wine in the pack that isn’t 100% Estate-grown. From 2019, our Heathcote Syrah will become part of the POCW family. There will now be only a single Syrah and we will also make a Marsanne from the same site. Tradition is a synthesis of these two projects—Estate Pinot blended with some of our Heathcote Syrah.

Aged in a range of casks, mostly large format Stockinger, this is a vibrant, juicy ode to a historic style. Spicy and red-fruited, we believe that it’s an excellent introduction to the Place of Changing Winds range. We consider it ridiculous value, and we hope you feel the same way when you taste it.

No fining or filtration. Minimal SO2. Bottled by gravity, February 2020. 1,528 bottles produced." - Place of Changing Winds
