HEAD Wines The Blonde Shiraz 2023

Head Wines now works with a diverse range of up to 20 different Shiraz vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys. To be considered part of ‘The Blonde’ a vineyard must perform amongst the few top vineyards each year and have well-defined perfumes, textures and supple tannins. For 2023, ‘The Blonde’ came from a vineyard planted at Ebenezer in the Barossa Valley GI. The Shiraz (at 320m elevation) was planted circa 1893 on an east-west downwards slope protected by the afternoon sun. The soils are deep white/yellow sand over limestone and orange/red clay.
