RedHeads Night Of The Living Red 2021
South Australia
A goregous full throttle red from the RedHeads team in deepest Barossa. An award-winning smash hit (boasting 10 Golds in 6 years), it combines spicy Durif with cassis-scented, old-vine Cab and exotic, spiced Touriga. Devilishly and darkly delicious.

The Wine
Alex Trescowthick heads up the team at the newly 'rooted' RedHeads cellar in the Barossa. For this punchy red, every year they sweet-talk grower Joe Roccat to ensure they get a full load of his remarkable Durif grapes, grown at One Tree Hill. To this they add premium Cabernet from fifth-generation grower Adrian ‘Hoffy’ Hoffman in the Barossa’s Ebenezer. With some of his vines over 130 years old, Hoffy is a bit of a legend. The two vats of grapes make a terrific combination, perfected by a drop of Touriga Nacional, aged in a traditional solera system (traditional to Spain’s Jerez, not the Barossa!) to ensure it's utterly mellow and delicious. This wine is full of rich black fruit and spice with firm tannins. A star with a hearty casserole.
"GORGEOUS. This is a new favourite, thoroughly enjoyed, very smooth and will be buying again"
