The 2025 Head Wines Old Vine Shiraz is a richly layered Barossa and Eden Valley Shiraz crafted from a selection of mature vineyards, including parcels planted from the 1940s through to the 1960s. Produced by Alex Head, the wine reflects his focus on preserving the purity and balance of old-vine fruit rather than relying on excessive extraction or heavy oak influence. The nose is deeply expressive, revealing aromas of blackberry, dark plum and black cherry layered with cracked pepper, liquorice, mocha and subtle floral spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with concentrated dark fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that bring freshness and structure. Flavours of blackberry, plum preserve and dark cherry are complemented by savoury spice, cocoa and subtle earthy complexity, while partial whole-bunch fermentation contributes aromatic lift and textural detail. Maturation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak helps add polish without overshadowing the richness and natural sweetness of the old-vine fruit. The finish is long, balanced and persistent with fine tannin grip and classic Barossa depth.

Barossa Valley Wine
The Barossa Valley wine region has historically and currently still is one of Australia's most prestigious premium wine producing regions. Located just 60km north east of Adelaide city centre, the climate there is very hot and dry which is perfect for the big bold reds the area is famous for.
A straight Shiraz is what Barossa is most well known for, however Rhone blends, such as Shiraz Cabernet are also very popular. While much less prevalent, white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon) are planted on the higher altitude hillsides where the ocean breeze cools temperatures down to a level suitable for producing these varieties as well.
Some of Australia's earliest Shiraz plantings can be found here dating as far back as the 1850's. While not always a guarantee of quality, it might be worth seeking out and trying one of the region's "old vine shiraz" if you haven't yet.
