Expert Review
Dave Brookes
The 163yo Stonegarden vineyard near Springton is one of the treasures of the Eden Valley. Experiencing a wine made from these ancestor vines is an exercise in texture, restraint and grace. Vivid plum and red fruits cut with exotic spice, fennel tops, ginger cake, cola and purple flowers. Just beautiful drinking: a wine that is very composed and comfortable in its own skin. Savoury and fine.

Huon Hooke
Deep and bright red with purple tinges, smoky and ironstone aromas overlying sweet black fruits and a hint of tar; the palate is medium-full bodied, fleshy and rounded, with richness as well as elegance, the flavour of dark cherries and bitter herbs, nicely balanced throughout. The silken texture is a highlight. A delicious grenache. (Grapes from the 1858-planted Stonegarden vineyard)

Dark red fruit, raspberry coulis, pimento, rose and milk chocolate, a subtle mint to note. Medium-bodied, stony feel to it and cool acidity, quite the ‘mineral’ thing to it, with fine-grained silky tannin, and a long fresh finish, maybe a little blood orange in the aftertaste, It’s very stylish and composed. Excellent.

Head Wines
Alex Head is part of the new generation of small Barossa winemakers creating wines in a new, more elegant style. Inspired by the wines of the Rhone valley, Alex Head sources small-parcels of old vine fruit and uses traditional vinification techniques to produce wines with perfume, vibrant fruit and savoury complexity. Head’s aim is maximum drinkability, which he successfully achieves by emphasising freshness, balance, texture and fruit purity. Eight wines are made under the Head label, including the Blonde and the Brunette inspired by the legendary wines of the Northern Rhone.
