Tasting Notes
For an entry level wine, this really shines. Lifted red fruit notes on the nose - ripe strawberry, raspberry and cherry - supported by layers of sweet spice, and a touch of oak. The medium to full-bodied palate is juicy and definitely fruit-forward, but with a beautiful savoury structure. A good acid line and dusty tannins, lead through to a lovely, long finish with hints of vanillin oak. Outstanding at this price. - Felix G
HEAD Wines was started in 2006 by Alex Head. It focuses on single site Rhone varietals from the Barossa and Eden Valleys in South Australia. Each HEAD Wine shows a distinctive house style of powerful fruit weight, elegance, freshness, finesse and balance which starts by farming vineyards sustainably and in some cases using organics and biodynamics. Yields are low/controlled, grapes are hand-picked, ferments use indigenous yeasts with some retention of stems and maturation in larger format barrels. Minimal sulphur is used during the whole wine-making process and bottling is without fining or filtration. Each Head Wine not only represents Alex Head's strong views on what makes balanced, drinkable wines for the table, but a guarantee of absolute quality, value and consistency. - Winery Note
