Trophy Best Grenache of Show
97 points James Halliday Grenache Challenge 2020
The Barossa Valley’s Head Wines has won the 2020 James Halliday Grenache Challenge with its 2019 Old Vines Grenache ($35). “The winning wine was a superb example of regionality and complexity, with earthy savouriness coupled with beautifully bright fruit and structure,” co-chair Paul Carpenter says.
From a single parcel of vines, planted in 1853 in Springton in the Eden Valley, this has a strikingly complex and fragrant nose with pepper, wild sage, gun flint, rose petals, pastry and orange peel, as well as redcurrants, raspberries, blueberries and red cherries.
The palate has such fine, silky and elegant tannins that draw very long and chiseled. Raspberry and red-cherry flavors are cradled long, fresh and fine. Elegance and power. Superb grenache. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
