RedHeads' Princess of Thieves is a playful, rebellious tribute to the legendary outlaws of folklore, capturing the winery's signature ethos of 'liberating' premium, small parcels of grapes from independent growers across South Australia. This characterful red blend typically marries the juicy, bright red-fruit character of Grenache with the structured depth of Shiraz and the savory, rustic charm of Tempranillo. Crafted in small batches with minimal intervention at their eco-friendly Barossa facility, the wine reflects the diverse terroirs of South Australia, offering a rich tapestry of ripe plum, dark cherry, and exotic spice notes framed by soft tannins and a vibrant, lingering finish.
