Place Of Changing Winds Heathcote Syrah 2019

Place of Changing Winds Heathcote Syrah is a naturally fermented Syrah from the Mount Camel Range.

A warm, dry, fast-ripening 2019 left the team with one real decision to make, which was when to pick; the ferments then ran through without trouble. The Syrah fermented naturally with varying degrees of crushing and time on skins, some of it fully carbonic. Whole berries and whole bunches are used here specifically to bring perfume and finesse to fruit that Heathcote otherwise delivers with plenty of power. Fermentation happened in stainless steel and concrete, ageing mostly in large neutral Stockinger wood with some older barriques from various coopers. No fining, no filtration, sulphur kept low.

Bright and juicy, with blackberry, pepper and a fresh mineral lift, more energy than weight and a carbonic crunch through the middle. Serve at 16 degrees with lamb skewers, grilled sausages or eggplant and capsicum off the barbecue.
