RedHeads 1888 Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023

For 19 years RedHeads have been making pioneering wines in various shed wineries across McLaren Vale and the Barossa. In that time they’ve picked up Trophies and over 100 Golds. Until last year they exclusively sought out the best growers to rescue small parcels of top-quality grapes for their wines. They still do, but now have a much nurtured vineyard of their own too. They’ve put down roots in Angaston in the Barossa, with 8 hectares of vines and a new, ultra eco-friendly cellar. With the grapes, they make a single estate wine – the 1888. It’s named after the 1888 cottage they adopted with the property, the oldest building in the area. Handcrafted and cask matured, this is an intensely flavoured red. Open early and decant, or cellar.
