✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the rebellious winemakers at RedHeads, Triplex is a dynamic white blend designed to challenge the status quo of single-varietal dominance. The name 'Triplex' celebrates the power of three, bringing together three distinct white grape varieties sourced from premium, low-yielding vineyards across South Australia. Each component is selected to contribute a unique dimension—one for vibrant aromatic lift, one for rich textural weight, and one for crisp, refreshing acidity. True to the RedHeads philosophy of minimal intervention and maximum character, the parcels are fermented separately, utilizing a combination of stainless steel to preserve bright fruit purity and seasoned oak to introduce a subtle, creamy complexity. The result is a harmonious, multi-layered white wine that showcases the collaborative spirit and innovative terroir expression of South Australian winemaking.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2002 by the UK-based Laithwaite family, RedHeads Wine evolved from an avant-garde collective of moonlighting South Australian winemakers into a purpose-built, eco-conscious estate in the Barossa Valley. Operating out of an off-grid winery in Angaston, the producer champions small-batch 'grape liberation,' sourcing distinctive micro-parcels from independent growers across the Barossa, McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, and Eden Valley alongside its own eight-hectare certified organic estate vineyard. Viticulture and vinification prioritize environmental stewardship, confirmed by NASAA organic certification and international accolades for sustainable power and water conservation. In the cellar, head winemaker Alex Trescowthick employs open-top ferments, native yeasts, and sensitive oak regimens tailored to individual varietal profiles. The portfolio bridges Barossa power and aromatic precision, showcased through benchmark releases such as the 1888 Cabernet Sauvignon, Harmonie Rox Chardonnay, Triplex, and characterful Rhône and Mediterranean single-vineyard expressions.
