✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
