The Wine
This wine really plays to the strengths of RedHeads – each year, we select the very best parcels
of McLaren Vale Shiraz. We don’t tie ourselves to one grower or one area, but search out where
Nature has been most magnanimous in her gifts of good weather and where growers have
made full use of what she has bestowed.
What we can guarantee each year is richness of fruit and real power, all wrapped in the soft
vanilla tones of larger American oak. Consistently gorgeous, luscious and totally irresistible.
Tasting Note
Deep purple-toned crimson. Brooding aromas of dark red fruits (plums and mulberries) with
the sweet scent of cedary oak. Liquid velvet with spicy blackberry and raspberry power,
 nishing on notes of smoky liquorice, generously wrapping a framework of rounded tannins.
Food Pairing
This wine is meant for a cold night in front of the  re – beside the hearth indoors in winter,
round the  re-pit outside in more clement months. Perfect with rosemary-scented, still-pink
lamb chops, thick-cut steak with duck-fat fried potatoes or smoked paprika, tomato and butter
bean stew with hot panini.
Cellar Potential
Totally delicious and velvety now, yet with the  rm structural accents to permit cellaring
for another 5 years. During which time it will round out and develop those extra interesting
flavours.
