Head 'The Brunette' Shiraz '18

About the Wine:

This wine embodies the 'dark side' of Shiraz, offering a robust and powerful experience. With its deep red color, it entices with aromas of aniseed and spicy oak. On the palate, it's all red berries, aniseed and liquorice.
This wine showcases fine, structured tannins and an impressive line- there is hugfe cellaring potential with this wine. The Brunette thrives in soils of lean red and orange clays, enriched with ironstone, which provide an optimal environment for luscious, savoury fruits

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.
