RedHeads Tomahawk Shiraz 2017

To craft a Shiraz of such rich, ripe fruit and length as this, a winemaker needs to find the finest low yield vines and reserve the meagre output of grapes. That’s exactly what the team at RedHeads does every year. Just a row here, a row there, then out come the pruning shears. Even perfectly good bunches get the ‘tomahawk treatment’, to ensure that the remaining grapes are super concentrated. The fruit for Tomahawk was selected from premium McLaren Vale vineyards, fermented in small tanks, then skilfully blended to achieve an excellent balance of fruit, power and elegance. Ageing in oak puts the finishing touch to this handcrafted red. Its vibrant fruit makes it a top choice for lamb, spicy ribs or venison sausages.
