Tasting Notes
The Head Rieslings from Eden Valley are highlighted by their unusually highacidity. 100% malo-lactic fermentation on lees in oak for a full year with no need for Sulphur until bottling. The wine was also allowed to stabilize naturally, un-fined & lightly filtered. A textural style with citrus, pine-apple, lemon and grapefruit together with a long, salty, honeyed, minerally finish. Drink with oily fish & soft cheeses. - Winery Note
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
