The Wine
Every great winemaker starts as a ‘barrel monkey’, dragging hoses and clambering over barrel stacks. At the pioneering RedHeads Studio, their true genius can be unleashed on some of the greatest fruit there is to offer. It was Tony Laithwaite’s genius idea – to bring together some of the hottest winemaking talent in Australia and let them make tiny batches of remarkable wines in their spare time. It started in a shed in the premium McLaren Vale, equipped ingeniously with others’ old kit and carefully restored. The cellar has recently been ‘reborn’ in the Barossa to lend a new creative boost, now under the guidance of talented winemaker Alex Trescowthick. Using top quality McLaren Vale Shiraz grapes, this is a big spicy red. Great with lamb.

Very good, full-bodied. Fruity, a touch zesty. Punchy, but not so much you can't drink in quantity!
