Vinden ‘The Headcase’ Somerset Vineyard Shiraz

The palate is medium‑bodied, vibrant, and finely structured, opening with dark cherry, blackberry, and plum skin. The fruit feels pure and energetic, carried by a line of fresh acidity that keeps the wine lifted and bright. A gentle herbal and spice thread — hints of sage, crushed leaf, and subtle pepper — adds complexity without overshadowing the fruit. The tannins are fine, long, and lightly earthy, giving the wine shape while maintaining a supple flow. The finish is clean, savoury, and persistent, tapering with notes of dark berries, soft spice, and a faint mineral edge that reflects the vineyard’s red volcanic clay and limestone influence.
