If you can count on Head Wines for one thing, it's proving that Australia, and in particular the Barossa Valley, is producing some of the finest wines in the world right now. Their Head Rose, is a powerful rival for some of France's finest dry Roses. Still textural and dry, the use of Grenache gives this bottle a good dose of fruitiness that'll have you coming back for more. A true delight to drink, it's one of the tastiest Australian Roses you'll ever have. Head Wines is the brainchild of Alex Head, a winemaker fascinated with old world techniques and the differences that soil and climate can make to a wine. His primary inspiration is Shiraz from the Cote Rotie in France, an influence that can be founded woven throughout all his delectable wines.

Grenache was hand-picked specifically for the production of rose. The fruit was crushed and macerated for 2 hours to increase colour pick-up as well as some natural fruit tannin. The must was then gently pressed to liberate the juice, and then 80% was fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain delicate fruit aromas. The balance was drained to old oak hogsheads where the juice underwent a natural fermentation and subsequent maturation on full lees for 5 months before blending and bottlingTasting EvaluationColour: Bright, pale salmon with copper highlights.Aroma: Subtle scents of cantaloupe, red currant, wild strawberry, Morello cherry and freshly grated ginger, pink peppercorn coupled with underlying gunflint aroma.Palate: Red apple skin, ruby grapefruit and rhubarb flavours abound with textural fruit sweetness, balanced with fine fruit phenolics with crunchy apple acid focus. The finish is dry and refreshing. Enjoy with fresh South Australia seafood or on its own.

The grapes were picked in the cool of the early morning, crushed and pressed after a short period on skins to extract colour. Part of the blend was cold settled, and part was stirred on juice lees with protective yeast to enhance fruit flavour and texture. After these processes were complete, juices were clarified, and the wine was fermented at a cool temperature using a yeast specifically used for expressive Rosé wines over 14 days. After fermentation, the wine was matured on gross lees for a short period to gain additional texture before fining, filtration, and bottling. Medium pink with a salmon hue. Fragrant and expressive, lifted aromas of strawberries, white cherries, and a delicate floral thread of rose petals and orange blossom. Dry and medium-bodied, the palate is juicy yet elegant. Ripe red fruits, raspberry and watermelon, supported by a generous mid palate and a gentle hint of strawberry cream texture. Preferably enjoyed alongside grilled squid, charcuterie, or a summer heirloom tomato salad with burrata and basil.
