Vintage Report

The 2022 vintage in South Australia received an outstanding score of 96T on the Robert Parker scale. The wines from this year are characterized as still youthful and tannic, indicating excellent aging potential.

What a delightful wine with a Spanish twist, this RedHeads Vin Atus is made with three Spanish grape varieties. According to the RedHeads winemaker, this red wine is a Spanish joke that turned out very well. The winemaker had spotted this unusual vineyard on a small family estate in One Tree Hill, a tiny hamlet nestled between the Barossa Hills and Adelaide. Not quite in the hills, as it gets quite warm during the day, but he gets a cool draft from the hills at night, which slows the ripening of the grapes... which explains the astonishingly deep red hue of the Vin Atus.

Quality wines from RedHeads

A young group of winemakers in McLaren Valley formed the RedHeads Studio winery. They are located in Tanuda, in the Barosso Valley of South Australia. It began in an old restaurant, where a group of young winemakers did everything they could to break away from the large wine cooperatives. They wanted to make their own wines in small volumes, focusing on quality. To this day, the winery continues to grow and has won over a considerable number of wine lovers, both nationally and internationally, with their expertise.

14 months of wood aging for the Vin Atus

The RedHeads winery has a unique knack for finding fantastic, high-quality, flavorful grapes. They blend them gradually to create a wine with abundant character. The grapes for this Vin Atus are harvested by hand and fermented in open tanks, with the pulp regularly immersed by hand. The wine then undergoes extensive skin maceration to enhance its flavors. Finally, the wine is aged for 14 months in both new and used French and American oak barrels. The result is a delicious wine with aromas of plums and sour cherries, along with white pepper, vanilla, and spices. You can even smell Christmas in this red wine. It has silky tannins on the palate, supported by juicy fruit. This is followed by lingering sweet oak notes, left over from the oak aging. A beautiful wine that is definitely on our list of favorites.
