Wilton Hill has been a 15 year project to this point. An opportunity for us to really
flex, show site and talk about what is really possible within our beloved Barossa.
We feel the vineyard story and journey of this wine is worth telling.
Notes on the Wilton Hill property:
‘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. It 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 current
owners are the Mattschoss Family, 6th generation farmers of the Barossa.
The property boasts 84 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 106 years and a small
Shiraz block planted in 1929 provides the fruit for HEAD Wines ‘Wilton Hill’
Shiraz. 35% of HEAD Wines total production comes off the Wilton Hill property.
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 inspiration behind the “Wilton
Hill” ambigram on our label is owed to this site's unique orientation atop the
Barossa Ranges from where both the Barossa and Eden Valleys can be seen.
The 2018 vintage of ‘Wilton Hill’ produced 120 bottles & 50 Magnums only. Alex Head
