✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted in the rebellious, free-thinking spirit that defines the RedHeads philosophy, the Lot 7 Shiraz is a tribute to the winery's origins as a collaborative studio for passionate winemakers. Sourced from carefully selected, low-yielding vineyard parcels across South Australia's premier regions, this wine captures the essence of classic Australian Shiraz. The winemaking team employs small-batch fermentation and careful oak maturation to preserve the intense, primary fruit characteristics while adding complexity and structure. The result is a bold, expressive red that balances rich dark berry flavors with savory spice, embodying the hands-on, minimal-intervention ethos of the RedHeads movement.
🍾 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.
