HEAD WINES ROJA 2021

Style: Savoury & Detailed

¿

Years ago, whilst travelling Europe¿s great wine growing regions, I fell in love with northern Rhone Valley Shiraz. Of particular fascination was the Côte-Rôtie ¿Roasted Slope¿ region. With pale limestone and mica slopes to the south-west. And brown slopes covered in schist and iron in the north-east.¿¿ Here in the Barossa, Eden Valley is my Côte-Rôtie in a New World. Its elevated slopes on an east-west aspect are ideal for exploring Shiraz of contrasting styles.¿¿ ALEX HEAD

As the climate continues to change for the Barossa, it seemed obvious that we needed to work on producing Mediterranean style blends as part of the Head Wines offering. This new wine is called |HEAD ROJA¿ and combines classical Spanish varieties. As well as being utterly delicious, it is an important look at what the future of sustainable wine and growing in the Barossa might look like.
