HEAD Wines is the Barossa label of winemaker Alex Head, whose dream of making elegant Barossa wines began while travelling through Europe's great wine regions. He fell in love with northern Rhône Shiraz, particularly the 'roasted slope' of Côte-Rôtie, whose contrasting soils inspired two of his best-known wines, The Blonde and The Brunette.
The wines come from the Barossa and Eden valleys and aim for balance, purity and a clear sense of place, from everyday wines to single-site, small-parcel releases made only when nature allows, such as Grenache from century-old Eden Valley vines and 'Grand Cru' Barossa Shiraz. Critics have praised Alex's Grenache as among the finest in Australia.
HEAD Wines sells mainly through its website and wine subscriptions, including pre-release allocations of rare wines.
