Barossa red wine lovers, today is a good day!
We are thrilled to present to you our best and most comprehensive offer on the wines of Alex Head in the near-decade we’ve been working together. From highly-rated bargains to limited allocations of his much-loved single vineyard wines, today’s offer has it all from a producer just named in Huon Hooke’s Top 52 Wineries in Australia.
Despite no formal training as a winemaker, Alex Head has become one of the stars of the modern Barossa. The purity and balance inherent in his old vine wines are constant year after year. Hes 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.
The Head Wines Old Vine Grenache & Shiraz are perpetual favourites here at DD and wines we have been sharing with you for almost a decade now. With the smallest ever release of the Grenache in 2021, we are very thankful to Alex Head for giving us exclusive retail access to this release to be able to share these wonderful wines with you once again. To hear more about the 2021s, check out our Release Review on YouTube.
These are some of the most exciting wines in the Barossa. The 2021 releases are gorgeous - a little finer and brighter than the past couple of releases due to a lovely moderate growing season. The Grenache in particular, with 96 points from James Halliday and only 60 dozen made is sure to fly.
On top of the excellent Old Vine duo, we have the delicious Head Red Cabernet and GSM (both 95 points & Top 100 Wines of 2022 in the Halliday Wine Companion)from just $25.
And for the collectors, the twin Cote-Rotie-inspired Shiraz pairing of The Blonde & The Brunette are in great form with some high critical praise.
Whatever your budget - from $25 a bottle to $70 - Alex Head has delivered some of the Barossa's best buys this year. At the link below you can shop Alex's range, complete with our exclusive Head Wines Tasting Pack which gives you a bottle of each of the best-value wines under his label.
