Description

The Vinden Headcase Shiraz Nouveau 2021

The Vinden Headcase Shiraz Nouveau was inspired by a trip to Beaujolais. A light, crispy and perfumed style of Shiraz. Fresh black fruit, hints of violets and smokey earth elements fill the nose. The medium-bodied and dry palate has well-integrated tannins and a crisp acidity that will have you vying for the next sip. Black plum, ripe blackberry and cherry flavours mingle with a dusty earthy minerality and caramel baking spice nuances. Enjoy it now or serve it chilled on a hot summers day. Cheers!

100% Shiraz. The fruit comes from their Vinden Vineyard planted in 1995 over red clay soil, Somerset Vineyard planted in the 1960s over red clay soil, and Tawarri Vineyard in the Upper Hunter Valley.

10% whole bunch, 90% whole berry in open concrete fermenters. Hand plunging, basket pressing and ageing for 4 months in neutral French oak barrels.

Young Angus Vinden is the owner/winemaker of this much-loved Hunter Valley winery. Having taken the reins from his father just a few years ago, Gus is reimagining his family's wine label with a string of exciting, modern wines coming out of his cellar.

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction

Carbonic Maceration

Carbonic maceration is a form of whole bunch fermentation, when whole bunches of uncrushed grapes ferment from the inside out. It traditionally requires an environment full of CO2, some winemakers allow a percentage of crushed grapes to ferment & release the CO2.
While a natural process, it has been adopted as a stylistic choice to make wines fruiter & soften their tannins
