The RedHeads King of Barossa Shiraz is a powerful red wine from the renowned Barossa Valley in Australia, a region known for its outstanding Shiraz wines. The RedHeads winery began as a small, rebellious winegrowing community that created exceptional wines in small batches - far removed from mass production.
In the glass, this Shiraz presents itself in a deep dark red. The bouquet is dominated by intense aromas of dark berries such as blackberries and blackcurrants, complemented by notes of ripe plums, black pepper, eucalyptus and a hint of toast. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich with soft tannins, accompanied by spicy pepper and meaty notes. The wood maturation gives the wine additional complexity with hints of vanilla and toast.
The grapes come from old vines, which ensure low yields but the highest quality. The vineyards are located directly next to those of the famous Torbrecks winery. After careful harvesting, they are gently processed and the wine ferments traditionally in open fermenters. The King of Barossa Shiraz then matures for 18 months in French and American oak barrels, which gives it its fine roasted aromas and velvety texture.
A red wine with this intensity calls for powerful food! Perfect with grilled beef, rack of lamb, spicy BBQ dishes or strong, mature cheese. It also unfolds its full potential with braised dishes with a dark sauce.
For optimum enjoyment, the RedHeads King of Barossa Shiraz should be served at a temperature of 16-18 °C. A brief decanting before serving can help to bring out the full aromas.

Hinter der Bezeichnung RedHeads steckt eine Gemeinschaft australischer Winzer, die die Vorzüge des Weinbaus in Down Under auf besondere Weise präsentieren möchte. Bewusst unabhängig von den großen Wein-Herstellern auf dem Kontinent, suchen sie konsequent Jahr für Jahr nach kleineren Parzellen außergewöhnlich qualitätsvoller Trauben, um wunderbare Weine zu kreieren, die eben nicht Teil der Massen-Produktion sind. In besseren Schuppen entstehen dann in akribischer Handarbeit Weine, die das Terroir Australiens – besonders der Vorzugslagen Barossa und McLaren Vale – authentisch transportieren.
Den besonderen Spirit des australischen Weinbaus vermittelt RedHeads auch durch auffällige Etiketten, um die sich immer größere Geschichten ranken, die der Hersteller gerne blumig erzählt.
