Red Heads King of Barossa Shiraz

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.

RedHeads Wine

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.

Product recommendation

Red Heads Coco Rotie Syrah Viognier
The small, aromatic Shiraz grapes from the McLaren Vale region come from vines that are more than 30 years old, forming the basis for the RedHeads Coco Rotie Syrah Viognier. On the nose, the red wine from Australia offers notes of raspberries, blackberries and apricots (resulting from the Viognier grape variety). The bouquet is complemented by nuances of dark chocolate, raspberry liquor and smoky notes of cedar and vanilla. The wine is velvety on the palate, showing a strong tannin structure and a great density.The RedHeads Coco Rotie Syrah Viognier matured for 14 months in oak casks, of which 20% were new barrels. This wine leaves almost nothing to be desired with regard to the complexity and fruity intensity. Try this Shiraz-Viognier blend with beef or lamb.

d'Arenberg The Footbolt Shiraz
The pretty nose is very floral with violets, lavender and rose water dancing with the more varietal purple fruits and a touch of cedar adds charming spice.The palate opens with varietal bravado and a mixture of red and purple fruits. Raspberry, blueberry and plum make way for a regional mocha character and an extra layer of complexity that includes graphite and roasted meats. It finishes with a cinnamon spicy lift and fresh, fine grain powdery tannins. Ripeness is well in check and the acid keeps the fresh and juicy palate focused.Before being renamed The Footbolt Shiraz in 1996, the Old Vine Shiraz (as it was then known) was the first wine to use the term ‘Old Vine’. When this became common practice it was altered to honour a racehorse that changed the Osborn family forever. The founder of d’Arenberg, Joseph Osborn was a successful racehorse owner and Footbolt was the pride of his stable. In 1912 he made the hard decision to sell his stable of horses to start d’Arenberg, so it is only fitting they pay homage to Joseph and his prize horse, Footbolt.

d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz
The South Australian “The Dead Arm Shiraz” from d'Arenberg is a remarkable wine in many ways. The bouquet is seductive, with earthy notes and flavors of dark fruit, fennel and spicy nuances. With time, notes of sweet berries and forest floor unfold. 18 months this exceptional Shiraz matured in French and American oak barrels. On the palate the wine from the famous growing region of McLaren Vale, 35 kilometres south of Adelaide, is dense and concentrated. Aromas of plum, blackberry, mulberry and black olives as well as hints of pepper and earthy notes give a wonderful taste experience. The tannins are integrated wonderfully. The wine has a looooong finish - a pleasure that never seems to end. Complex and hearty. Dead Arm is a vine disease caused by the fungus Eutypa Lata that randomly affects vineyards all over the world. One half, or an ‘arm’ of the vine slowly becomes reduced to dead wood. Although this results in a lower yield, the grapes on the healthy arm offer an amazing intensity. The Dead Arm Shiraz - an impressive varietal Shiraz..
