✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
