A significant contribution of fruit from vines which are 100 years old make this one very special blend indeed. There’s 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. We’ve 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.

The Head Heart & Home Shiraz Blend 2022 from Barossa Valley is a true representation of South Australian winemaking at its finest. This vintage, produced by Head Wines, boasts a deep, ruby red colour with a striking clarity that catches the eye. On the nose, aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and plum intermingle with hints of spice and oak, creating an inviting bouquet. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a smooth texture. Flavours of ripe black fruits, vanilla, and a touch of pepper dance on the tongue, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This wine is a perfect blend of power and finesse, showcasing the best of Shiraz from the Barossa Valley. It is a true delight for the senses, and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
