Description
The Between Two Mountains Pinot Noir from Place of Changing Winds is a refined expression of Pinot Noir, showcasing the unique terroir between Mount Macedon and Mount Bullengarook in the Macedon Ranges. This lighter, red-fruited wine offers remarkable freshness and site transparency, and has become one of Victoria's most sought-after Pinot Noirs in just a few short years.
Crafted with organic viticulture and minimal intervention, this cuvée is vibrant and energetic. Its fine texture and structure make it approachable now, while possessing the potential to develop beautifully over the next decade.
Produced from all vineyard plots except those used for the limited Beyond the Forest cuvée, this Pinot Noir matured for 18 months in Stockinger casks, with 50% new oak from a 1,000-liter cask. With only 2,564 bottles produced, the Between Two Mountains Pinot Noir epitomizes the dedication and expertise of Rob Walters and his team.
This is a future collectable of Australian wine. Best get in while you can, it won't be available for long.

"A sheath of lacy, granitic tannin over dark cherry, woody spice, and a general sense of ultra pure, tart cherry juice. Incredible extension of flavour and an almost unnerving consistency to texture."

"Good depth and hue of colour, with a sandalwood aroma and dark cherry fruit. The palate is elegantly structured and refined, with intense and focused flavour."

"There’s a strong, almost stubborn, vision guiding the viticulture and winemaking here. Good doesn’t cut it when the ambition is to be great."

"The 2022 Between Two Mountains Pinot Noir is spicy and fine on the nose, with cherry pip, raspberry leaf, and crushed rocks. In the mouth, it's all about rose petals, iron, and silty tannins."
- Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)
