RedHeads 'Nobs & Snobs' is a cheeky, narrative-driven red blend that playfully satirizes the traditional class divides of the wine world. The wine brings together the structured, aristocratic 'Nobs' (represented by Cabernet Sauvignon) and the bold, fleshy 'Snobs' (represented by Malbec). Sourced from select parcels across South Australia's premium regions, this blend is crafted in small batches to preserve the distinct personality of each vineyard. The Cabernet provides a firm backbone of fine-grained tannins, dark cassis, and subtle herbaceous notes, while the Malbec contributes plush plum fruit, violet aromas, and a velvety texture. Aged in seasoned oak barrels, it represents a harmonious marriage of power and elegance, proving that these two contrasting characters are far better together than apart.

Established in 2002 in McLaren Vale by Tony Laithwaite as a collaborative studio for rebellious winemakers, RedHeads has since evolved into a state-of-the-art, eco-friendly winery located in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. Operating from its custom-built, solar-powered facility in Nuriootpa since 2019, the winery is dedicated to rescuing small, premium parcels of grapes from independent growers to craft expressive, small-batch wines. RedHeads is celebrated for its highly characterful, narrative-driven labels, producing acclaimed reds and whites such as the Dogs of the Barossa Shiraz, Whip-Hand Cabernet Sauvignon, and Esule, which showcase the diverse terroirs of South Australia with minimal intervention and maximum personality.
