Place of Changing Winds Tradition Red 2023

Our Tradition is a cellar blend of estate Pinot and grower Syrah. The greatest Australian wines I have ever tasted were made by Hunter legend Maurice OShea in the 1940s and 50s. These wines were blends of Syrah and Pinot, and they have inspired this blend (and the label), which we make only in suitable years. This release is a blend of 50% Pinot from our own vines, in Macedon and 50% Syrah from Heathcote and Harcourt. The 2023 is 50% Pinot and 50% Syrah. It was raised in a mix of mostly neutral large and small oak and was bottled in December 2024. Made with 80% whole bunches, its a bright, perfumed, juicy wine packed with brambly fruit and all sorts of spice. Less than 3,000 bottles were made this year. Its already very approachable, yet we think it will age well. Grab some for now and some for later.
