Expert Review
James Halliday
From a 155yo vineyard in Springton on brown and grey sandy loam over clay, 30% whole bunches wild-fermented in a wooden vat, hand-plunged and foot-trodden twice daily for three weeks, matured for 12 months in a used 600l demi-muid, a small addition of old vine mourvedre. There is a classic potpourri of red fruit aromas and flavours ranging from poached strawberries and spice through to raspberry and ultimately red cherry; there is also a striking purity to the cadence of these flavours thanks to a whisper of sweet tannins holding the flavours in flight pattern.

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.
