Head Red 2021
Shiraz
Product Details
The 2021 HEAD RED Shiraz was produced from a La Nina weather affected year. The mild and cool conditions gave the vines time to produce fruit (particularly shiraz) that has both powerful tannins & rich flavours. There’s richness and grand texture in the mid palate, with some of the aromatic prettiness of 2018. We also pushed a little whole-bunch fermentation into some of the Eden Valley components and co-fermented with some viognier. This is the first wine we have released to use a large component of older ex-chardonnay barriques for a longer than usual maturation. We have found over years of trials that it gives us the best levels of purity and freshness in this wine. Only cement or terracotta would go further but, we do love our oak and it is traditional!
