RedHeads is a dynamic winery that started out in the McLaren Vale in 2003 and in 2017 moved to the Barossa. The plan was to give the studio cellar an extra boost of creativity and to show the neighbours - big players like Wolf Blass and Penfolds – just how good they were! Here is a luscious, velvety red made from the classic GSM blend, now with a lovely bit of age. The Grenache is from 65 year old bush vines grown on the McLaren Flat’s sandy soils (the pure raspberry notes), while the Shiraz is from the Willunga and Sellicks areas (dark black fruit and mocha tones) and the Mataro from the iron-rich soils of Ebenezer. Cooler temperatures mean the grapes ripen slowly, gaining more depth and structure. Great with panfried tuna or lamb shanks.
