HEAD Wines Old Vine Shiraz 2024 12pack 14.3% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

PALATE

The 2024 has an extra layer of richness and texture and is our finest to date it will blossom when approached by richer protein dishes.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS

I am privileged to work with small parcels of fruit from old, dry-grown, hand-pruned and picked vineyards across the Barossa. We were utterly spoilt for choice in 2024 with many blocks across the Barossa & Eden Valley making a strong statement for inclusion in the Old Vine Shiraz. At Ebenezer (Planted 1950s) we used the Riebke Schrapel Block as the base, then Menglers Hill Block 8b & 12 (Planted 1960s), Mattschoss Trial Hill (Planted 1940s) and finally a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon from Moculta (Planted 1980) & Ebenezer (Planted 1950).

VINIFICATION

2t open top, indigenous yeast, two week ferment, hand-plunging & pump-pover twice daily.

MATURATION

On fine lees, 15% new French oak with 228L, 300L & 500L.
