Description
Head Red G.S.M.
grenache 50%, mataro 30%, shiraz 20%
The Grenache component can be sourced from up to four different vineyards across the Barossa, all aged between 25 & 76 years old.
The shiraz component is a blend of Eden Valley vineyards and the Mataro is sourced from a dry-grown vineyard on Mengler’s Hill in the Eden Valley. Each varietal component is fermented separately, resulting in more fruit definition, purity and accessibility.
‘Head Red’ wines are produced with balance and drinkability in mind without sacrificing true Barossan character.
Bottled unfined under Stelvin capsule.
VINEYARD:
Krondorf, Springton, Lyndoch and Mengler’s Hill at 280-480m elevation
Farmed sustainably with organic principles.
These sites rise from the Barossa floor and continue all the way up to the cooler reaches of some 500m. Yes, there’s attention to detail around mainly older vines, but also on the ancient bedrock — shallow sites of loamy sand to clay to quartzite gravel. It’s what makes this an exceptional growing region. Ideal for variety of fruit profiles and superb acid retention.
