Tasting Notes

Maturation

2 years on fine lees, 10% new French oak, mix of 600L, 300L & 228L

Palate

Black fruit, some mint and spice, dark chocolate, almond. It’s nudging full-bodied, with rich dark and chocolaty flavours, some truffle and earthiness, quite a bit of chew to tannin, some dried herb and orange peel bitterness, and a hearty finish of good length. Plenty of flavour and substance, and very good value.

Vinification

2-5t open top, indigenous yeast, two week ferment, hand-plunging & pumpover twice daily

Winemakers Comments

This very traditional Australian ‘Dry Red’ style has been part of my heart for many years and literally reminds me of home when I get it in the glass. Bizarrely, it was a chance conversation about Shiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon with Phil Lehmann which led me down a path of blending enlightenment. How do we make wine quality even better through the art of blending the two ‘hero’ varieties of the Barossa? Well, believe it or not there is a trick and roughly you need to find the point at which they don’t fight each other! Lots of fine tuning involved. Certainly, this is the best value, most traditional and emotional Barossan style within the Head Wines offering. Thank goodness we never gave up on Cabernet!
