✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of the traditional corrugated iron roofs that shelter classic Australian farm sheds and early winemaking ventures, RedHeads 'Rusty Roof' is a vibrant white blend that captures the spirit of South Australian ingenuity. Crafted by sourcing premium parcels of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc from select vineyards across South Australia, this wine represents a modern take on a classic Australian blend. The winemakers employ minimal intervention, fermenting the parcels cool in stainless steel to preserve the intense, zesty fruit character and crisp natural acidity. It tells a story of resilience, character, and the rustic charm of the Australian landscape, offering a bright, aromatic, and highly refreshing profile.
🍾 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.
