Flavour Profile
Coco Rôtie comes from RedHeads, a small, eco-focused winery with just one vineyard. For the rest of their grapes, they draw on an impressive list of growers, allowing them to source exactly the fruit they’re after.
Here, the RedHeads team have taken Australia’s best-loved red grape, Shiraz, and dialled things up a notch by adding a dash of Viognier. (Yes – that’s a white grape.)
The paradox? By adding a few bunches of Viognier to the fermenting Shiraz, you actually get a richer wine – with added aromatics too. It’s the same recipe used in the pricy reds of the northern Rhône’s Côte Rôtie.
They named the wine after the ancient Monkey King, known for his insatiable hunger for roasted coconuts (Noix de Coco Rôties). Though of course, it’s also a nod to the inspiration behind the blend.
Aged for ten months in oak barrels, this is a rich, spicy, aromatic red – best served in big glasses to really appreciate its gorgeous aromas. Cracking with lamb.
