The 2015 Head Wines Ancestor Vine Grenache Mataro is a vibrant tribute to Barossa’s oldest vines and the art of site-driven winemaking. Sourced from low-yielding, dry-grown vineyards, this blend reveals the best of both varieties: Grenache delivers a core of wild strawberry, raspberry, and lifted florals, while Mataro (Mourvèdre) brings earthy depth, savory spice, and subtle dried herbs. Maturation in seasoned French oak preserves purity and freshness, with silky tannins and lively acidity lending structure without weight. The finish is long and energetic, echoing the ancient vines’ remarkable vitality. This is a beautifully balanced, expressive red that shines at the table and promises graceful aging.
