Place of Changing Winds Between Two Mountains Pinot Noir 2023

Description

Product Description: Pinot with a pulse—floral, spiced and fiercely site-driven. The 2023 Between Two Mountains Pinot Noir is the sole Pinot release from Place of Changing Winds this vintage—and it’s a striking encapsulation of this high-density, high-altitude vineyard on the southern slopes of Mount Macedon. Crafted from the estate’s best parcels, including fruit usually reserved for Beyond the Forest, it’s a wine that blends precision with perfume, structure with seduction. Co-fermented with nearly a third whole bunch and matured for 21 months in large Stockinger oak and glass Wineglobes, the wine is textural, complex and unmistakably cool-climate. Vivid dark cherry, sour plum, blood orange and white pepper leap from the glass, layered with high-toned florals, Asian spice and gamey intrigue. Despite its elegance, there’s an undertow of grip and tension that promises serious age-worthiness. Decant for now, or cellar for a decade. Serve with duck, miso-glazed eggplant or rare venison. Tasting Notes NOSE – Perfumed and savoury Violet, rose, dark cherry, blood orange and white pepper with notes of game and fennel.
