Winemakers Comments

Wilton Hill has been a 15-year project to this point. An opportunity for me to show one unique and very special site and talk about its relevance within the varied Barossa landscape. The ‘Wilton Hill’ Shiraz sits at the top of the ‘Icon Series’ of HEAD wines and represents less than 0.5% of total production. The ‘Wilton Hill’ label design showcases the ‘Wilton Hill’ name as an ambigram representing the vineyard’s unique view of both the Barossa & Eden Valleys from the vineyard site.

Region Notes

‘Wilton’ was an old town in Flaxman Valley and the vineyard was planted on the hill above the town, hence the property name. The property covers 250 acres and was originally part of the largest land-holding within Flaxman Valley, of approximately 4000 acres, by the Pohlner family who were original 1852 settlers. The property boasts 64 acres under vine, 8 varieties with 11 clones of Shiraz. Once a goldmine with 40 workers, there are many natural springs and also ancient protected Yacca plants, some up to 500 years old. The vineyards are farmed sustainably and use organic practices. The oldest vines are 100 years and a small Shiraz block planted in 1965 provides the fruit for the ‘Wilton Hill’ Shiraz.
