Head Red GSM 2024 from Head Wines in the Barossa Valley is a cracking, bistro‑style red – bright, juicy and perfumed, with enough spice and structure to keep the wine nerds happy but built first and foremost to drink.

This Head Red GSM 2024 blend (Grenache–Mataro–Shiraz) hails from one of the great recent Barossa years and pours a crimson with magenta flash, showing damson plum, dried cherries and blueberries with mixed spice, citrus blossom and a little cool‑earth, “cold tea” complexity. The palate is cuddly and medium‑bodied, with crunchy red fruits, liquorice, white pepper and Asian spice wrapped around fine, chewy tannins and fresh acidity.

Food‑wise, Head Red GSM 2024 is purpose‑built for pizza, pasta, BBQ, burgers and mid‑week grills – anywhere you want a juicy, flavoursome Barossa red that’s equally happy poured by the glass at a neighbourhood bistro or at home over a big bowl of ragù.
