Place of Changing Winds Syrah No.1 2018
This was the wine previously labelled as 'Graillot'. The 2018 is the first release that we have made ourselves at Place of Changing Winds. While both the No. 1 and No. 2 wines come from the same, three-hectare plot of vines, this bottling is comprised of two ferments that underwent a longer maceration (around 30 days).

This was the wine previously labelled as 'Graillot'. The 2018 is the first release that we have made ourselves at Place of Changing Winds.
While both the No. 1 and No. 2 wines come from the same, three-hectare plot of vines, this bottling is comprised of two ferments that underwent a longer maceration (around 30 days). Apart from this, the wine was made the same way: 100% whole-bunch, natural fermentation, large format oak, etc.
Pure, layered and dangerously easy to consume, you can expect a smoothly textured wine with blackcurrant fruit, violet florals, hints of graphite (very typical of these soils) and super-fine tannins.
Organic vineyard practice. 12.5% alc/vol. DIAM 10 closure.
"This has come along nicely over the past few months. It's low-ish in alcohol but it packs a punch; it's certainly not light on for flavour. It's peppery and twiggy, a little vegetal, a lot meaty. There's a core of cherry and a spray of florals. When you first open it things seem just a little tannic for their own good, but as it breathes it falls closer to balance. Indeed it's the kind of wine where your impression keeps shifting. At the tasting bench I was in two minds; at the dinner table I was far more convinced." 92+ points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
