Head Wines 'Head Red' Grenache 2021

A juicy and easy grenache with sliced ripe strawberries and dried citrus aromas and flavors. Medium to light body. Fresh finish. Subtle leafy undertone to this flavors. Drink now. Screw cap.

Alex Head gets grenache. Here it's a bouncy, perfumed and vital riff on the variety; less of the chin stroking and pontification; more of the clinking of glasses and footloose, imbibing kind of vibe. It's all ripe red plum and cherry fruits, dredged with exotic spice and stalky complexity from 10% added stems. Light in body, big on fun. Pop it in the fridge to take the edge off and away you go.

Bright and crunchy style. Raspberry, raspberry frog, a bit of spice, dried herb, roses and leaf. Medium-bodied, plenty of raspberry juiciness, light emery tannin, discreet earthiness and a fresh but jubey finish of moderate length. It can be enjoyed young, though I think it will be better with another year or so in bottle. Charming.

Winemaker Alex Head’s dream to make elegant Barossa wines began in 1999 while travelling through some of Europe’s greatest wine growing regions, along with his longheld fascination with the synergy of good wine, fine food and happy company at the table. Head Wines is all that and more.

Alex follows a traditional négociant model, an old practice where the winemaker does not grow their own grapes, instead working with a number of small growers. Around three-quarters of the grapes that end up in Head Wines’ bottles are sourced from a carefully chosen selection of these elevated Eden Valley sites. All of these vineyards are farmed sustainably using organic principles where possible; yields are controlled and grapes are hand-picked.

Not being tied to his own vineyards has allowed Alex to spend years understanding the strengths and weaknesses of a number of sites in pursuit of his individual style. Alex creates great Barossan wines that are memorably balanced whilst pursuing styles that are intentional and truly of place. This is sublime winemaking.
