The 2023 HEAD Wines HEAD Red Shiraz is a modern Barossa blend crafted by acclaimed winemaker Alex Head, combining fruit from multiple premium vineyards across the Barossa and Eden Valleys. Rich yet refined, the nose reveals aromas of blackberry, ripe plum and black cherry layered with dark chocolate, liquorice, pepper, smoked meats and savoury spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with plush dark fruit flavours, fine-grained tannins and impressive texture. Notes of cocoa, graphite and subtle oak complexity are balanced by fresh acidity, delivering a smooth, polished and persistent finish. The style is generous and expressive while maintaining freshness, structure and drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best-value premium Barossa Shiraz blends for customers who enjoy rich, layered and savoury Australian reds with depth and balance rather than excessive heaviness. Perfect with BBQ, grilled steak, slow-cooked lamb or hearty winter dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 8–10 years.
