Vintage Report

The 2015 vintage in South Australia received a score of 87, indicating an above-average to excellent quality. The wines from this year are characterized as being fully mature and ready to drink.

One of RedHeads' rarest wines, this Esule Cabernet Woman With Gun, is made from two Cabernet grape varieties, Franc and Sauvignon, which are very scarce in Australia. But the wine produced by winemaker Dan Graham is of unparalleled quality, full-bodied and aromatic with a lively style. Both vineyards are close to the ocean, allowing the old vines to receive ample sunshine but also a tremendous amount of cooling sea breeze. The growing season is so long, and the bunches can develop into some of the finest in the Barosso region. Unfortunately, there are not many bunches available, making this red wine very scarce.

Cabernet on a pedestal in this Esule

This wine is a modern twist on the story of the outcast. It's about being the outcast of life. In this story, Cabernet is the victim; both Sauvignon and Franc have been taken over by Shiraz. Both grape varieties are in the minority, but tasting them reveals that they undoubtedly stand alongside Shiraz, instead of being sidelined. That's why RedHeads remains true to these grape varieties and places them on a pedestal in this blend of two Cabernet grapes.

The generous power and complexity of this Cabernet Franc

The entire wine is handcrafted, from harvest to pressing, using open fermentation in oak barrels. This gives the wine its fullness and complexity. After fermentation, it also undergoes 18 months of wood aging in both new and used barrels. This is the beautiful characteristic of this RedHeads red wine, and you can smell it in the aroma. Beautiful impressions of rich black fruit and cassis, supported by cedarwood and mixed spices. Lovely notes of star anise and cloves on the palate, with rich dark fruit to support it. The Cabernet Franc is the star performer here, with its generous power and complexity. Truly a wine for special occasions.
