Head Wines Heart & Home Dry Red

This very traditional Australian ‘Dry Red’ style has been part of Winemaker, Alex Head’s heart for many years and literally reminds me of home when I get it in the glass!

Well, believe it or not, there is a trick and roughly you need to find the point at which they don’t fight each other! Lots of fine tuning
