Place of Changing Winds Heathcote Syrah 2019 750ml

The review below capture the wine well—it’s a Syrah with plenty of fruit, but it’s also really bright and fresh, very perfumed and very easy to drink. It’s a different expression of Heathcote, a sort of Pinot lover’s Shiraz. We have always sought to produce wine of finesse and this 2019 has certainly delivered.

“It’s an incredibly fresh wine, both in style and in presentation. It’s juicy and refreshing, and for that alone it feels very different to the Heathcote norm. Intricate, lacy, fine-grained, grapey; all these words apply. Cherry, plum, sultana and boysenberry are all evident, as is earth, sweet spice, tobacco, meat and stem. It’s a wine with many positive but its best aspect is its finish, which curls out like smoke rising from an intensely defined source. We’re in good days now but better days yet are ahead. This is an elegant, intricate, filigreed delight.” 94+ Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front (winefront.com.au)
