A significant contribution of fruit from vines which are 100 years old make this one very special blend indeed. Theres a class and sophistication to what is a delicious medium bodied and brightly fruited red. Its savoury nature is so moreish and this really does offer a great alternate red wine drinking experience. Alex Head - Head Wine Winemaker - The Barossa Valley has been witness to the coming of a new wave or new breed of young talented winemakers. Weve been intently following Alex Head throughout this time, producing a unique set eye opening Barossan wines, inspirationally drawn from his passion towards Northern Rhone Syrah. Soil and aspect is therefore very much key, imparting style and character and this new release Head Red is no exception.

In the glass: Dense red black. On the nose: Lifted plum pudding, currant and cedary oak. On the palate: Very rich and powerful with a velvety soft core of fruit, graphite-like tannins, touches of black olive and sarsaparilla and earthy persistence.
