Head 'The Blonde' Shiraz '19

About the Wine:

This special wine showcases defined perfume, supple tannins, and a captivating texture. The shiraz is grown on diverse soils and rocks, including red clays, sands, and limestone, offering a unique flavour profile. Aged in French oak, it presents crunchy blackberries, satsuma plums, and dark chocolate nuances, harmoniously balanced by vibrant acidity. Fragrant with musky rose perfume and hints of creamy vanilla, it delivers a succulent and supple experience with a long, controlled finish

About the Producer:

Alex Head is the founder and winemaker of Head Wines. Alex fell in love with the northern Rhone Valley Shiraz while traveling through Europe's wine regions, particularly the Côte-Rôtie. Since, he has been inspired to recreate these Old World styles in the Barossa Valley. Alex uses fruit from unique elevated sites in the Barossa and Eden Valley, each offering different soil compositions and climates ideal for exploring contrasting styles. Alex carefully selects grapes from sustainably farmed vineyards, resulting in wines that reflect the elegance, balance, and complexity of their origins. Alex's goal is to share his fascination with Old World styles through the terroir of the Barossa region.
