✨ Technical Specifications
RedHeads Tomahawk Shiraz is a bold, expressive tribute to the classic South Australian style, crafted with the winery's signature rebellious flair. Sourced from premium, low-yielding vineyards, this wine is designed to 'cut through' the ordinary with its intense, concentrated profile. The winemaking team utilizes small-batch fermentation and careful skin contact to extract deep color and rich, velvety tannins. Aging in a selection of French and American oak barrels adds layers of sweet spice, vanilla, and subtle smoky complexity to the dominant dark fruit character, resulting in a powerful yet balanced Shiraz that honors the region's rich viticultural heritage.
🍾 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.
