Place of Changing Winds Tradition Red
The Tradition Red from Place of Changing Winds marries the elegance of Macedon Ranges Pinot Noir with the robust character of Heathcote Syrah. This blend creates a vibrant, charming red wine, paying homage to the legendary Maurice O’Shea wines of the 1950s and 1960s. Owner Rob Walters combines 40% Pinot Noir from Macedon with 60% Syrah from Heathcote and Harcourt. The wine aged for a year in a mix of large and small neutral oak barrels, finishing in a steel tank and a 600-litre Stockinger cask. This process ensures a bright, perfumed, and juicy wine, that's fruit-focused rather than shrouded in oak. On the palate, Tradition Red is soft, smooth, and effortlessly drinkable. The Pinot Noir offers elegance, while the Syrah adds depth and spice. This blend results in a wine that is both sophisticated and approachable. The Tradition Red is a model for modern Australian red wine, perfect for enjoying now or aging further. It showcases Rob Walters' dedication to creating wines of exceptional character and charm.
