✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Back Shed by RedHeads is a liquid tribute to the winery's humble, garage-winemaking origins. Before establishing their state-of-the-art, eco-friendly facility in the Barossa, the RedHeads revolution started in a literal rented back shed in McLaren Vale. It was there that a group of rebellious, free-thinking winemakers gathered to escape corporate constraints, sharing ideas and handcrafting tiny parcels of fruit. This wine captures that original, collaborative spirit. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, it is a classic Australian blend that marries the rich, dark plum and pepper notes of Shiraz with the structured, leafy blackcurrant character of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermented in small batches with traditional minimal-intervention techniques, it offers a plush, generous palate balanced by fine-grained oak integration.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
RedHeads opstod i begyndelsen af 2000'erne som et utraditionelt garagiste-kollektiv i det sydlige Australien. Formålet var at befri talentfulde vinmagere fra de store vinhuses stive rammer og give dem frihed til at skabe ekspressive passionsprojekter i små partier. I dag holder vinhuset til i et specialbygget, miljøvenligt vineri i Barossa Valley, hvor der arbejdes målrettet med bæredygtig vinavl, solenergi, genanvendelse af vand og skånsomme, håndværksmæssige produktionsmetoder. Druerne håndplukkes fra dedikerede avlere i Sydspaniens bedste underregioner, og ud fra disse skaber RedHeads modige, frugtdrevne vine, der udfordrer den traditionelle stil. Huset er særligt kendt for sin markante portefølje med farverige etiketter, anført af fyldige, karakterfulde rødvine som Dogs of the Barossa Shiraz, Whip-Hand Cabernet Sauvignon samt innovative blends.
