Head Wines 'The Blonde' Shiraz 2022
Wines taste best when shared with friends!
For 2022, ‘The Blonde’ came from a vineyard planted in the ‘Barossa Ranges’ of the Eden Valley GI. The Shiraz (at 450m elevation) was planted in 1962 on an east west downwards slope protected by the afternoon sun. The soils are granitic and sandy over limestone and clay.
"Lots of fragrance and jasmine perfume, blue and black fruit, some creamy spiced oak and pimento, and maybe a little dried apricot too, cocoa and mint.. It's supple and composed, the tannin feels ripe and pixelated, dried raspberry and sage, kind of meaty too, but succulent with it, and there's a brightness, and an almost white wine bite to acidity, though that's largely a function of youth. The finish is neatly matted with tannin, and all up, it's a lovely expression of Rhone meets Barossa, which I guess is kind of the intent. Very good." 94pts | Gary Walshe | WineFront
