Refined, savoury, and deeply expressive, Place of Changing Winds Heathcote Syrah 2021 is a cool-climate take on the variety, grown on the ancient soils of Mount Camel in Heathcote. In the glass, it shows deep crimson with lifted aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, cracked pepper, and dried herbs, alongside earthy undertones and a whisper of oak. The palate is medium-bodied and structured, with precise dark fruit, vibrant acidity, and finely grained tannins driving a long, mineral finish. A sophisticated, Rhône-style Syrah ideal for roast lamb, chargrilled vegetables, or mushroom-based dishes.

Halliday Wine Companion - 95 Points
The Heathcote syrah now spends an extra year ageing – all up, 33 months; the first year matured in Stockinger barrels and concrete, then into one 2000L Stockinger cask. Good decision as the tannins are resolved and the wine feels complete. Wonderfully aromatic, from florals, dark fruit and warm spices to some charcuterie notes – think bresaola. The full-bodied palate unfurls all savoury, rich with some bitter dark chocolate and a texture of pomace. Complex and detailed, flavours build, and it finishes long. Impressive.
