A 60/20/20 GSM blend that leans into the savoury side, this Head Wines RED GSM opens with aromas of black earth, boot polish and chocolate before strawberry and red cherry cameos add a welcome flash of brightness.
There’s good shape and presence through the palate, with the wine carrying itself confidently. Just when the savoury notes appear set to take complete control, a burst of juicy fruit arrives on the mid-palate, injecting energy and keeping the wine lively and engaging.
What stands out most is the texture. Super fine to taste, it glides effortlessly, backed by dusty tannins that provide enough structure without interrupting the flow. There’s a sense of balance and ease here that makes it particularly appealing.
This is the sort of wine that quietly earns a place in the weekly rotation. It asks no questions, causes little fuss, but listens with intention. Honest, satisfying and highly drinkable, it's a mid-week go-to that delivers exactly what is required.
