✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the rebellious winemakers at RedHeads, Blue Belle is an elegant, expressive Chardonnay that showcases the cooler-climate terroirs of South Australia. The wine's striking label features 'Blue Belle,' a tattooed siren that embodies the winery's artistic, rule-breaking ethos. Sourced from premium vineyards where cool breezes preserve natural acidity, this Chardonnay undergoes partial wild fermentation and subtle oak aging. The result is a beautifully balanced white wine that marries vibrant citrus and stone fruit flavors with a delicate, creamy texture, reflecting the creative freedom and minimal-intervention philosophy of the RedHeads studio.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2002 by the UK-based Laithwaite family, RedHeads Wine evolved from an avant-garde collective of moonlighting South Australian winemakers into a purpose-built, eco-conscious estate in the Barossa Valley. Operating out of an off-grid winery in Angaston, the producer champions small-batch 'grape liberation,' sourcing distinctive micro-parcels from independent growers across the Barossa, McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, and Eden Valley alongside its own eight-hectare certified organic estate vineyard. Viticulture and vinification prioritize environmental stewardship, confirmed by NASAA organic certification and international accolades for sustainable power and water conservation. In the cellar, head winemaker Alex Trescowthick employs open-top ferments, native yeasts, and sensitive oak regimens tailored to individual varietal profiles. The portfolio bridges Barossa power and aromatic precision, showcased through benchmark releases such as the 1888 Cabernet Sauvignon, Harmonie Rox Chardonnay, Triplex, and characterful Rhône and Mediterranean single-vineyard expressions.
