Named after the ancient forest that borders the vineyard, this is a wine forged from the site’s most challenging conditions—tiny yields (just 144g\/vine), meticulous organic farming, and an unwavering commitment to purity. With only 974 bottles made, it's a wine of rarity, structure and drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe profile is striking: ruby grapefruit, quince and creamy lees upfront, giving way to more exotic tones and a briny edge as it opens. The mouthfeel is electric—tightly coiled and layered, the low yields translating into intense fruit concentration without losing the wine’s linear core. Three-quarters was raised in glass fermenters to retain clarity and brightness; the remainder in a single new Stockinger barrique for structure and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink slowly to appreciate the evolution in glass, or cellar 8–10 years. Best with grilled lobster, white asparagus or comté.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e – Intense and lifted\u003cbr\u003e Ruby grapefruit, quince and creamy lees with hints of citrus blossom and sea spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e – Racy and layered\u003cbr\u003e Tightly wound citrus and stone fruit, balanced by saline minerality and lees-derived depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e – Long and driving\u003cbr\u003e Energetic acid line with a lingering finish of grapefruit pith, chalk and faint exotic spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Heathcote, Victoria\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2023\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eOther - Organic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Place of Changing Winds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41806206632023,"sku":"POCWLC23","price":164.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/2ffed965-df5d-4bfd-a66a-a2d8f064f2cf.jpg?v=1752111745","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/place-of-changing-winds-larderdark-chardonnay-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
