bold shiraz beauty from Australia’s famed barossa valley

Step into the world of RedHeads ... eco-warriors of the Barossa

For 20+ years, RedHeads has been pioneering terrific, award-winning wines in various cellars, firstly in McLaren Vale, then in the Barossa.

In 2018, they finally put down real roots – a small winery with its own vineyard, surrounded on all sides by some of the biggest names in Aussie wine.

They built the winery from scratch, so sustainability could be firmly at its core – from its solar-panel roof to its water reuse, a reservoir for collecting rainwater, a policy of minimal waste and local sourcing. To date, they’ve won four major awards for their green credentials and loads more for their terrific wines. 

RedHeads has always had a reputation for hunting down the very finest grapes from small-time growers … their mates, some of the families of which have been nurturing vineyards for over a hundred years. That's old for Oz! They hijack these small parcels of exceptional grapes, destined usually to be blended anonymously into Australia's finest reds, and allow them to shine in their own small-batch wines. Fans adore them, growers too, and they’ve won eleven Trophies and over 240 Golds along the way.

However, their ‘real roots’ comprise an 8-hectare vineyard, just in front of the winery which supplies the grapes for the fabulous dark, weighty Shiraz 1888.
