Description

Alex Head's Head GSM is fresher take on a classic Barossan Grenache blend, focusing on perfume, drinkability, and offering great value.

Alex's passion for contemporary Barossa wines shines through in this blend. He collaborates with small, sustainable growers, sourcing grapes from some of the region's oldest vineyards, up to 100 years old. 

The Grenache offers vibrant fruit, Shiraz adds dried herb notes, and Mataro brings spice and tannin, creating a harmonious blend with plush fruit, fresh acidity and a long, spicy finish.

This is a versatile mid-week slurper, perfect with pizza, pasta, or on its own. As with all of Alex's wines, it delivers superb value, and an honest taste of the Barossa through a modern lens.

93 points - "The all-conquering GSM blend from a variety of old-vine sites across the Barossa. Crimson and magenta flashes in the glass with pure satsuma plum, red and dark cherry and boysenberry fruits cut with hints of fine spice, citrus blossom, gingerbread, charcuterie, amaro herbs and earth. There's a sprightly freshness lifting the fruit on the palate, a few more lumens let in, finishing sapid, fruit-pure and lipsmackingly moreish." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

    An Okay GSM

    This GSM doesn't do it for me. A bit disappointing. Seemed a bit tart and immature on the tongue.

Head Wines

Alex Head has had what you might call a meteoric rise through the Australian wine industry. In his short career as a producer he has been heralded as one of the best Young Gun Winemakers, not only in the Barossa but the whole country.

With no formal training as a winemaker, the purity and balance inherent in the wines are amazing.

Alex has a passion for the old vineyards that populate the Barossa. With a keen eye for a good site, Alex has put together a formidable portfolio of vineyards which produce simply outstanding renditions of Shiraz and Grenache year-in, year-out. These are some of the most exciting wines in the Barossa.
