✨ Technical Specifications
A playful nod to classic B-movie horror, RedHeads 'Night of the Living Red' is a wonderfully dark, rich, and velvety red blend crafted to 'wake the dead.' Sourced from select premium vineyards across South Australia, this wine brings together robust varieties like Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Durif. The winemakers employ traditional small-batch fermentation and careful oak aging to coax out deep, fleshy dark fruit characters, subtle spice, and smooth, supple tannins. It is a wine designed to showcase the vibrant, generous, and rebellious spirit of South Australian winemaking, wrapped in a narrative-driven, theatrical package that has become a signature of the RedHeads studio.
🍾 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.
