Head Wines now works with a diverse range of up to 20 different shiraz vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys. To be considered part of ‘The Brunette’ a vineyard must perform amongst the few top vineyards each year and represent the ‘dark-side’ of Shiraz in the Barossa. In the vineyard, we give every opportunity for the fruit to provide us with the tannins and concentration to make a structured and long-lived traditional Barossa Shiraz. In the 2023 vintage, The Brunette comes from the ‘Fechner’ vineyard planted circa1908 near Moculta in the Eden Valley GI at 320m altitude. This is potentially thewarmest vineyard site in the Eden Valley and the soils are deep red clays, mixedwith ironstone/limestone and some scattered quartz. These elements help producedark purple wines with savoury fruits, dried herbs and fine, structured tannins. 73 dozen produced, 96Pts Ken Gargett - Winepilot
