Product DescriptionHugh Johnson's wasn't the only one to be impressed by the sheer scale of this colossal Shiraz (that's part of his tasting note above). The judges at the International Wine Challenge awarded it a Silver medal. So it's clearly not just big, it's beautiful too. It comes from the Redheads wine studio - an establishment that is every bit as extraordinary as the wines it produces. A former wine bar, this cosy boutique winery retains some of the creature comforts of its previous incarnation. Where you might expect an impromptu seat fashioned from a wine barrel, you find instead a red leather sofa where maverick winemakers sit and hatch their next innovative project. It's a place that flies in the face of convention and amidst the jovial buzz of activity, you might also think, by the seat of its pants. But fly it does ... and the results are spectacular. Best with either spicy foods - chorizo-laced pizza, chilli con carne, or a mild vindaloo ... or char-grilled sausages or peppered steaks. |
