{"product_id":"2023-place-of-changing-winds-harcourt-syrah","title":"2023 Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Syrah","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Syrah is a beautifully perfumed and site-driven cool-climate expression from the granite-rich slopes of Harcourt in Victoria. Crafted with a meticulous, minimal intervention approach, including around 60% whole-bunch fermentation and extended maturation in large-format Stockinger oak, it emphasizes finesse, aromatic lift and structural precision over weight. The nose is intensely lifted and floral, revealing violet, lavender and rose aromatics layered with blackberry, blood plum and crushed rock minerality. There is a distinctive spicy and exotic edge from whole-bunch fermentation, alongside subtle herbal and savoury notes that add depth and intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, structured tannins and bright natural acidity that gives the wine energy and clarity. The fruit profile balances red and dark berries with spice, mineral tension and a lightly savoury character. The structure is linear and composed, leading to a long, persistent and finely detailed finish — highlighting both elegance and depth from this cooler vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is one of the most elegant and perfumed Syrah expressions coming out of Australia today. Compared to richer, heavier Shiraz styles, it leans strongly toward a Northern Rhône profile — lifted, spice-driven and mineral. The 2023 vintage, in particular, is one of the prettiest and most balanced releases, making it approachable earlier while still offering excellent ageing potential. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2038+ as it develops further complexity. Exceptional with lamb, duck, game meats or earthy, savoury dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 117.563px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePlace of Changing Winds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSyrah\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Place of Changing Winds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51217405542715,"sku":"24354-750","price":57.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2023PlaceofChangingWindsHarcourtSyrah-WineMoreCellars.png?v=1777972682","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2023-place-of-changing-winds-harcourt-syrah","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
