The Old Vine Shiraz is sourced from Barossa Valley vines over 100 years old — among the most precious and irreplaceable viticultural heritage in Australia. These ancient vines, having survived phylloxera, drought and countless vintages, have developed extraordinarily deep root systems accessing water and nutrients unavailable to younger vines. The naturally low yields from century-old vines produce fruit of extraordinary concentration, complexity and character that is simply impossible to replicate from younger plantings. 95 points — outstanding recognition for a wine of extraordinary old-vine distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep, inky purple-black with excellent concentration and brilliant clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowerful and extraordinarily complex with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eripe blackberry, dark plum and black cherry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edark chocolate, espresso and vanilla bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe distinctive earthy complexity of century-old Barossa vines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull-bodied with exceptional concentration and magnificent structure.\u003cbr\u003eExpect layers of:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econcentrated dark fruit, blackberry compote and plum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edark chocolate, mocha and fine-grained silky tannins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe distinctive mineral backbone of deep-rooted ancient vines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExceptionally long and persistent with beautifully integrated oak, concentrated fruit and the distinctive earthy complexity of great old-vine Barossa Shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - Halliday wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWine Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100+ years old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barossa Valley, SA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Head Wines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFounder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alex Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16–18°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drink now – 2044+ (15–25 years)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry-aged ribeye steak with herb butter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-braised beef short ribs with red wine reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLamb shoulder with rosemary, garlic and red wine jus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged hard cheeses — vintage cheddar and Parmigiano-Reggiano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark chocolate desserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is deep, concentrated and profoundly complex — \u003cstrong\u003eHead Wines’ 2024 Old Vine Shiraz\u003c\/strong\u003e, 93 points, old-vine Barossa Valley Shiraz of extraordinary character from 100+ year old vines.
