RedHeads Wilson Gunn Bellum Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2022

Barossa and Coonawarra

Top vintage of this cracking Cabernet Shiraz. Every year the RedHeads winemaker, Alex Trescowthick, chooses the best grapes. In 2022 these were two A-grade parcels from premium Barossa and Coonawarra. Immense kirsch, eucalyptus and lavish oak spice.

Henry Laithwaite is the originator of this wine, but he now has his hands full with his own English Sparkling wine estate. So RedHeads winemaker, Alex Trescowthick, steps up to the plate. He was handed a gift too. The Shiraz grapes were top notch for starters – from some of the winery's finest growers – usually destined for their Icon wines. The Cabernet is from Coonawarra, Australia's best region for this variety. It was a parcel originally destined for a larger cellar's flagship wine, but was wrongly delivered to RedHeads. The grower rang and apologised for the fortuitous accident. It made a cracking wine and now Alex gets it every year! The cool summer of 2022 meant grapes ripened slowly and resulted in a powerful, well-balanced red.
