About RedHeads RedHeads White wine was
developed by Tony Laithwaite in McLaren Vale in 2002 in an old restaurant, called RedHeads! The site was made use of by moonlighting winemakers to damage without the company shackles ahead as well as make “actual” glass of wines, the means they wanted to. Tiny batches, hands-on, interesting blends as well as big flavours. Now RedHeads’ roots are strongly grown in the Barossa as well as it has a tailor-made lasting winery built from the ground up in 2019.
The principals continue to be the same today. The aim? Grape freedom. RedHeads hunt down premium parcels of fruit that are lost in larger winery blends. The team rescue the grapes, a few rows each time as well as give them the interest they are worthy of in the RedHeads winery.
RedHeads work with over 20 various varieties, which create red wines of soul, originality, as well as special character. Each white wine has its own story to tell, no 2 white wines coincide.
