Tasting Notes
Maturation
11 months on fine lees, 5% new French oak.
Vinification
2-10t open fermenters, two-week ferments,
punchdown/pumpovers twice daily. We also pushed a little whole-bunch fermentation into some of the Eden Valley components
and co-fermented with some viognier.
Vintage Notes
The 2024 Head Red Shiraz was produced from a La Nina weather affected year.
The mild conditions gave the vines time to produce fruit (particularly shiraz) that
has both complex tannins & garrigue flavours.
Region Notes
A rather large jigsaw puzzle of 10 very unique Barossa vineyards are used for
HEAD RED Shiraz. They mostly come from the higher altitude, rocky, cooler sites
of the Eden Valley as a preference for the style of Barossa Shiraz I like to drink &
cellar. In the winery there is very little ‘fancy’ winemaking, allowing the vintage
and Barossa character to show clearly.
