Description

A standout release from Alex Head, the Head Red Cabernet is a long-awaited expression of straight Cabernet Sauvignon that delivers both pedigree and exceptional value. Seamlessly blending Barossa richness with a nod to Bordeaux’s structure and authority, this is a wine that balances power with precision — confident, composed and unmistakably serious. On the nose, classic Cabernet aromatics lead the way, with grassy notes layered over blackcurrant, cassis and dark fruits. In the mouth, expertly managed tannins take centre stage, creating a smooth yet purposeful structure that carries flavours of blackcurrant, cassis and ripe plum across the palate. There’s depth and drive here, but everything feels measured and refined. While all the Head Wines Red releases lean toward elegance, balance is the defining feature of this Cabernet. The fruit, tannin and acidity work in harmony, giving the wine both immediate appeal and long-term promise. It’s delicious in its youth, yet clearly built with the structure to cellar confidently for over a decade. A natural partner to filet mignon, leg of lamb or rich game dishes, where its depth and polish really shine. With several awards to its name, this is Cabernet with presence, precision and staying power.
