RedHeads has always been a bit of a rebel! The winery was started in 2002 in the McLaren Vale - a cellar where young winemakers could come in their spare time and make just the sort of small-scale wine they dreamed of (not like they did in their day job). Since then, the winery has moved home a few times, and finally put down real roots in the Barossa, building one of Australia's leading eco-friendly cellars. There, surrounded by many of Australia's biggest wine names, they handcraft revolutionary wines from top batches of grapes, rescued from under the noses of the big players. March of Progress celebrates a path in the green direction, using the best rows of organic Shiraz from top McLaren Vale grower Jock Bosworth. Rich and weighty – velvet texture, rich black fruits, long and weighty, rounded tannins

ColourVery attractive crimson black colour. DenseAromaVery lifted and perfumed, spicy, almost nutty fruit/ oak complexity. A touch of that peaty character which is so typical of the old vines in Block 9.PalateSoft, rich, flavoursome palate with lovely spice and pepper complexity lingering. Not sweet, more savoury and elegant in style. A great follow on from the 2010 Reserve Shiraz. This is an impressive example of old vine Blewitt Springs Shiraz.

With vineyards approx. 5km from the ocean (as the crow flies) the benefits of the cooling breezes are evident on the wine. It is inky yet bright, with silky dark fruits and excellent length. Bold, smooth and wonderfully balanced

Lifted violets, vanillin and chocolate notes on the nose. Full bodied palate, stewed plums, prunes & spice up front with savoury, earthy characters layered beneath, which persist through to the supple, fine velvety tannins and trace of black pepper on the finish. Cellar potential 7+ years.

This classy deep red wine fills the glass with aromas of dark fruits, red berries and bitter chocolate. Plums enhanced with cassis, anise and pepper mingle with the lusciousness of the fruit on a full bodied palate. Creamy tannins and fresh acidity leads to an everlasting finish. Drink this premium drop now or cellar it for up to 10 years.

Made by Rockstar winemaker Ben Riggs, the McLaren Vale Shiraz is as true an expression as one could hope for. The fifth release of the wine is based around a core of pristine fruit with dark red berries, hints of spice, earth, tar and leather and with seamlessly integrated oak. Ripe tannins are apparent but not overwhelming, meaning this is a wine which can be enjoyed now or in the next 10-15 years.

Depth and intensity without over-extraction. Dark fruit richness, smoked nuts, seaside herbs, iodine. Compact and dense, yet with polished tannin, good acidity and silky length.
