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 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.
