Description
Head Wines The Blonde shiraz
The original source vineyard for The Blonde lies in the Stone Well parish on the mid-rise of the western-ridge at 280m altitude and has a myriad of soil types including sandy-loams, red clays and a limestone rock base — blonde in colour — running the length of the vineyard. It crops naturally at around 1.5 ton/acre, shows perfume, blue & stone-fruits, produces riper, plumper, sweeter fruited wine, while still retaining acidity due to the higher limestone content of the soil.
