✨ Technical Specifications
RedHeads Mohawk Cabernet is a bold tribute to the rebellious, rule-breaking ethos that defines this South Australian winemaking collective. Named 'Mohawk' to symbolize cutting through the stuffy, traditional conventions of classic Cabernet, this wine is crafted for those who appreciate character and defiance in a bottle. Sourced from premium, low-yielding parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in South Australia's prime regions, the fruit is meticulously selected to capture intense varietal definition. The winemaking team employs small-batch fermentation and careful oak aging to tame the grape's naturally robust tannins, resulting in a wine that balances rich dark fruit flavors with a structured, velvety finish.
🍾 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.
