2022 Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Marsanne Roussanne

Sourced from the same vineyard as their acclaimed Harcourt Syrah, the 2022 Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Marsanne Roussanne showcases the unique terroir of Victoria’s Bendigo G.I. With pure granite soils and a cooler year contributing to the wine’s vibrancy, the 2022 vintage is both rich and dynamic.

Grapes were picked fully ripe, gently pressed, and fermented in a mix of 500- and 228-liter barrels and 220-liter glass Wineglobes. The wine underwent natural malolactic fermentation and aged for 12 months in cask and Wineglobe before being racked to tank for an additional eight months.

This wine opens with aromas of honeysuckle, pear skin, and white stone fruit, complemented by blanched almonds, ginger powder, and subtle oak spices. The palate is full-bodied and luscious yet maintains a vibrant energy with flavors of bitter lemon, preserved lemon, and herbal notes. The texture is both fleshy and chalky, making each sip moreish and complex.

Awarded 95 points by Jane Faulkner of Halliday Wine Companion and 94 points by Mike Bennie of The Wine Front, the 2022 Harcourt Marsanne Roussanne is a must-try.
