Robert Walters spent 20 years importing some of the greatest growers into Australia before planting the first vines for A Place of Changing Winds in 2012. Tucked in between Mount Macedon and Mount Bullengarook in the Australian state of Victoria exists a site historically known as Warekilla, a word meaning “Place of Changing Winds” in the local Wurunjeri language. In recognition of the original custodians of the land, Robert Walters chose the same name for his project on this remarkable piece of land. His Heathcote #1 bottling is fermented 100% whole bunch and is a beautifully expressive Syrah that brings out the lighter, more delicate side of this noble variety with red berry fruits and green pepper notes dominating the show.
