Head Rosé Grenache 2023 from Head Wines in the Barossa is a pale, vin‑gris style rosé grown and picked specifically for pink, looking delicate in the glass but carrying surprising power and presence.​

The nose is fragrant and pretty – spun sugar, cherry blossom and fresh red berries, with a cushioned core of strawberry and redcurrant fruit wrapped in gentle spice and a lick of citrus. On the palate, Head Rose Grenache 2023 is dry, sleek and refreshing, with vibrant red fruits, soft texture, bright acidity and a long, mouth‑watering finish that makes it dangerously drinkable with or without food.

It’s spot‑on with prawns, fish and chips, charcuterie, mezze plates, summer salads or a simple roast chicken, and it’s the kind of Barossa rosé that will disappear quickly at barbecues and long lunches alike. It has also caught critical attention, with 93 points from Gabrielle Poy at The Real Review underscoring just how smart this pink is for the money.
