Expert Review
Erin Larkin
The red clay and ironstone that the Shiraz for this 2020 The Brunette Shiraz was grown on emerges in the glass—it is earthy, plush and dense and impacts both the tannins (imbuing them with an enveloping character) and the fruit (it stains it red). This is a savory wine wrapped around a core of pure red fruit. The difference between the Blonde and Brunette becomes preferential for style, and while the Blonde may be a little more slimline and a little more mineral, this Brunette dives straight into the beating heart of the Barossa and drags out the blood and earth that it holds. I thought I preferred the Blonde, but I love the tannins here and how this wine holds a little more back. In a nutshell, they're both excellent.

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.
