Head Wines Old Vine Shiraz

APPEARANCE
Deep, bright red-purple hue.

AROMA
Intense spice aromas layered with graphite and ironstone; a touch of dark chocolate too.

PALATE
It's rich in the mouth, full-bodied and deep, with some alcohol warmth and a powerful, emphatic finish that rolls on and on. Deep core of black fruit-sweetness.

GRAPES/BLEND
86% Shiraz, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon.

HEAD WINES
Winemaker Alex Head's dream to make elegant Barossa wines began in 1999 while travelling through some of Europe's greatest wine growing regions, along with his longheld fascination with the synergy of good wine, fine food and happy company at the table. Head Wines is all that and more.

Alex follows a traditional negociant model, an old practice where the winemaker does not grow their own grapes, instead working with a number of small growers. Around three-quarters of the grapes that end up in Head Wines' bottles are sourced from a carefully chosen selection of these elevated Eden Valley sites. All of these vineyards are farmed sustainably using organic principles where possible; yields are controlled and grapes are hand-picked.

Not being tied to his own vineyards has allowed Alex to spend years understanding the strengths and weaknesses of a number of sites in pursuit of his individual style. Alex creates great Barossan wines that are memorably balanced whilst pursuing styles that are intentional and truly of place. This is sublime winemaking.

86% Shiraz from Flaxman Valley and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon from Moculta. I do like that bit of perfume and lift that the Cabernet provides here. A fair amount of spice and perfume, black and blue fruit, a praline richness, and choc-mint. It's medium to full-bodied, pliant and rich in sweet dark fruit, supple fine-grained tannin, again that choc-nougat nutty thing, with a stony feel and perhaps a slight warmth on a finish of excellent length. Lovely wine. Fragrant and engaging.
