Sold out
$201.00
Description
WINEMAKER: Robert Walters
REGION: Macedon Ranges, VIC
VARIETAL: Pinot Noir
VITICULTURE: Organic
SERIOUSLY EXTREMELY LIMITED. Here the fruit was mostly destemmed, with less than 10% whole bunch, however, there was some hand destemming (with scissors) of the fruit from our highest density vines (33,000 vines/ha) which kept these berries completely intact on their pedicel. The aging was for nineteen months in low-impact Stockinger wood, 25% of which was new. The name may be a little misleading as all our vines are “high density”, but the blend for this wine is based on our very highest density vines; those planted at 20,000/ha to 33,000/ha.
This is a more serious and structured wine, built for aging. At the same time, you will still find the finesse that we strive for, as well as great freshness and energy. It’s a wine that will certainly live for decades but should make for pleasurable drinking at any stage of its life.
The goal since the beginning for Place of Changing Winds has been to establish a vineyard and a system of practice that can stand comparison with the world’s greatest estates. The aim has been to answer the question, “How much of a difference to style and quality does this type of extreme practice make?” The 2021s seem to be answering that question.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
