Head Red Grenache 2021 (12 x 750mL) Baro

  1. Head Red Grenache 2021 (12 x 750mL) Barossa, SA

Wine Summary Image

Sourced from two very special Grenache vineyards grown and picked specifically for bottling as a straight Grenache (not a GSM).

The 2021 vintage was mild in every manner, mainly due to La Nina. Grenache did not achieve high sugars like the previous three vintages and this has given us the opportunity to make a straight varietal HEAD RED Grenache (well almost). The first vineyard was planted in 1970 on the Biscay soils of Bethany. It is spur-pruned, shoot-thinned and bunch-thinned for quality. The second vineyard is 1968 planted bush-vines from Nuriootpa on red-clay over sand. Both are hand picked and we ferment with about 10% whole bunches. 9 months in French hogsheads and a splash of 1968 planted Mataro make this wine utterly delicious and ready for immediate consumption. Lightly chill. - Alex Head

Expert Reviews

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. - Dave Brookes

Winery Tasting Notes

Deep crimson red in colour with notes of raspberry, red liquorice, dusty earthen spices and wild herbs. The palate has sweet red fruits with delicate tannins and a gentle acid presence.

Winery Profile

Very much a rising star, Alex Head has taken the long path to wine-making, starting with a degree in Biochemistry at Sydney University, then stints in fine wine retail, wholesale importers and auction houses. He followed this with vintage at a handful of superb Australian wineries including Torbreck and Tyrrells, before heading out on his own, with his first releases in 2008.

Already rated a 5-star producer by James Halliday and named one of his Top Ten Best New Wineries for 2011, Alex's wines are inspired by the wines of France's Cote Rotie, in particular, and are produced in quantities of at most one or two barrels.
