✨ Technical Specifications
RedHeads' 'March of Progress' is a narrative-driven Shiraz that celebrates the evolution of winemaking. The label playfully adapts the iconic evolutionary silhouette, culminating in a modern winemaker raising a glass. Sourced from premium, low-yielding vineyards across South Australia, this wine is crafted using traditional small-batch methods, including open-top fermentation and maturation in seasoned oak casks. This approach preserves the intense dark fruit profile, cracked black pepper notes, and rich, velvety tannins characteristic of South Australian Shiraz, bridging the gap between heritage craftsmanship and contemporary sustainable practices.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in the early 2000s as an unconventional garagiste collective in South Australia, RedHeads was created to liberate talented winemakers from corporate constraints and allow them to craft expressive, small-batch passion projects. Today operating from a purpose-built, eco-friendly winery in the Barossa Valley, the producer focuses on sustainable viticulture, utilizing solar energy, water reclamation, and gentle, hands-on production methods. Sourcing prime fruit from dedicated growers across South Australia's premier sub-regions, RedHeads crafts daring, fruit-forward wines that challenge conventional styles. The winery is acclaimed for its distinct, vividly labeled portfolio, headlined by rich, characterful reds such as Dogs of the Barossa Shiraz, Whip-Hand Cabernet Sauvignon, and innovative multi-varietal blends.
