This wine is a product of a long running collab with Alain and Maxime Graillot, initially made by Luke Lambert, and is where Rob Walters began his wine producing journey. Today it's the team at Place of Changing Winds who make the wine. There's an amazing elegance to the palate, which is soft and smooth, without being jammy. It's a ripe, luxurious wine showing great promise, with a hint of meat and pepper savouriness alongside the ripe fruit. There's a sleek ripe side to the wine but also some good definition and focus. Very fine, doing a really difficult job of balancing ripeness and freshness really well.

It's an incredibly fresh wine, both in style and in presentation. It's juicy and refreshing, and for that alone it feels very different to the Heathcote norm. Intricate, lacy, fine-grained, grapey; all these words apply. Cherry, plum, sultana and boysenberry are all evident, as is earth, sweet spice, tobacco, meat and stem. It's a wine with many positive but its best aspect is its finish, which curls out like smoke rising from an intensely defined source. We're in good days now but better days yet are ahead. This is an elegant, intricate, filigreed delight.

Deep purple/red brilliant colour, with a powerfully spicy bouquet that recalls pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and red and blue berry fruits beneath. The wine is elegantly framed and medium to full-bodied, with supple, balanced tannins and easy accessibility despite its youth. Plum stones on the finish. A shiraz in a more Rhône-like, un-Australian cast. It's different--and appealingly so.
