RedHeads Dogs of the Barossa Shiraz 2014

The Dogs of the Barossa is the story of a young dog in an old dog’s world. The ‘dog’ in this case is RedHeads wine studio proving its worth in the ancient Barossa, an area with some of the oldest vineyards in the world. Shiraz vines nearly 200 years old – France can’t get near it. Having led the pack in the McLaren Vale (site of the original cellar), RedHeads is showing that, set among some of the most iconic names of Australian wine (Henschke, Penfolds, Lehmanns, Wolf Blass), its wines still stand out. The ethos of this cellar has always been to innovate and the winery can now boast a cult following for its small range of wines, particularly The Dogs. Now 10 years old, this great Barossa Shiraz is now mellow, silky and complex.
