Expert Review
James Halliday
From a 155yo vineyard at 400m near Springton. Bright, clear crimson-purple; grenache seldom has tannin structure, but this has it, adding to the beautiful bouquet and spiced red fruits of the palate. Can be enjoyed now, but has an exciting future when you think about Rh?ne Valley grenache.

Gary Walsh
From Springton in the Eden Valley, with vines being planted in 1858. 100% whole bunch.
Such intensity of red fruit – essence of raspberry, licorice, herbs, spice, mineral, so sure in the mouth and fleshy and grippy – graphite – all the sweet fruit but none of the sickliness. Gummy chew of tannin on a super long finish. And really, it’s that length that sets it apart. It’s a puppy now, but will surely develop layers and layers of intrigue. Wow.

Head Wines
Alex Head is part of the new generation of small Barossa winemakers creating wines in a new, more elegant style. Inspired by the wines of the Rhone valley, Alex Head sources small-parcels of old vine fruit and uses traditional vinification techniques to produce wines with perfume, vibrant fruit and savoury complexity. Head’s aim is maximum drinkability, which he successfully achieves by emphasising freshness, balance, texture and fruit purity. Eight wines are made under the Head label, including the Blonde and the Brunette inspired by the legendary wines of the Northern Rhone.
