Hier gaan ze letterlijk de Côte Rôtie uit de Rhône naapen , mét aap op het label !
Wel aan een democratischere prijs ! Syrah liefhebbers kunnen nu al likkebaarden.
De Syrah, met kleine druifjes, komt uit McLaren Vale, uit een single vineyard met stokken van 30 jaar oud. De druiven worden met de hand geplukt en in de kelder gesorteerd.
Cabernet Sauvignon meets the undead Touriga and resurrected Petit Verdot – a blend of unspeakable horror… A wine of nightmarish proportions has been created, a once dead variety has now risen… The Return of the Living Red promises to be thicker than blood, hold more body than a city morgue and more tannin than a mouthful of fish hooks… Cabernet vs Touriga vs Petit Verdot.
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
A jestful caper from Spain’s trio of grapes from the RedHeads Studio team. But this is no Spanish hero. Our playful Vin’atus struts dark, brooding Aussie pizzazz and delicious dark cherry fruit. The debut 2015 vintage racked up five golds and 92pts from James Halliday...!
The 2016 underwent small batch open fermentation before being hand-plunged. We then gave the wine some extended maceration on skins to build the flavour. Matured for 14 months in oak in a combination of new and used French and American oak.
Tasting Note
Plum and sour cherry notes with white pepper, vanilla and spice, like Christmas! Silky tannins on the palate with juicy fruit to support and that lingering sweet oak notes to follow.
Food Pairing
Roast garlicky lamb or a rich rabbit stew would flatter the deep fruit and spice of the wine, spaghetti with rich puttanesca sauce or sticky ribs from the barbie.
