Tasting Notes
Maturation
18 months on fine lees, 5% new French oak.
Palate
Powerful tannins and rich flavours. Richness and grand texture in the mid palate.
Vinification
2-10t open & closed top, two week ferments with punchdowns and pumpovers twice daily.
Range Notes
A rather large jigsaw puzzle of 10 very unique Barossa vineyards are used for HEAD RED Shiraz. They mostly come from the high altitude, rocky, cooler sites of the Eden Valley. In the winery there is very little 'fancy' winemaking, allowing the vintage and Barossa character to show clearly.
Vintage Notes
2022’s growing season was mild & dry with warm flowering conditions developing average yields. Cooler than usual night temperatures helped with brilliant natural acidity levels and ripening conditions were near perfect. There were no significant heat events which also helped with aromatics. 2022 promises to be one of the great years for the Barossa. Rainfall: 435ml (April ’21-March ’22 avg. 465ml).
Region Notes
Vineyards: Bethany, Ebenezer, Greenock, Krondorf, Flaxman Valley, Moculta at 260-500m elevation (60% Eden Valley, 40% Barossa Valley). Soils: Sand, red/yellow clay, limestone, bluestone, quartz and ironstone.
