Dense and fruit-rich, three-Golds red using premium quality Bordeaux varietals sourced from both the warm Barossa and cooler, elevated Eden Valley. Handcrafted at RedHeads, it was fermented the old-fashioned way for bolder, mouthfilling richness.

The path to glorious wine is sometimes tough. The RedHeads team think of it as pitting their wits against whatever nature throws at them and maintaining the whip-hand. For this Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc they chose great vineyards (in wine speak that equates to arid and infertile) in the Barossa, and in cooler Eden Valley to lend extra finesse. Both sites produce awesomely concentrated fruit, handled at RedHeads’ Barossa cellar with all the meticulous care you’d expect. You need nerve and dedication to pit yourself against nature: get it wrong and you lose it all. Get it right and you have this rich, velvety, dense fruit red, enhanced further by a little oak ageing. Throw a steak on the barbie and crack open a bottle of this beauty!
