✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the rebellious winemakers at RedHeads, 'Good Shiraz' is a vibrant tribute to South Australia's signature grape. Sourced from carefully selected, low-yielding vineyards across premium South Australian sub-regions, this wine represents the winery's mission to rescue parcels of exceptional fruit from independent growers. The winemaking team employs traditional, small-batch fermentation and careful oak aging to preserve the intense dark berry flavors, cracked black pepper, and subtle sweet spice that define classic Aussie Shiraz. The name itself is a playful nod to classic Australian understatement—while humbly labeled as merely 'Good,' the wine inside is crafted with serious dedication, delivering a rich, velvety, and character-driven experience that punches far above its weight.
🍾 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.
