2018 Redheads Dogs of the Barossa

Dogs of the Barossa is the story of a young dog in a world full of old hands. Eager to prove himself, the young dog is now showing what he's worth with all his strength and vivacity in Barossa. It has a super sensitive nose to pick up every aroma and a fantastic palate and liver to endure all the tasting. Its claws are perfect for gently crushing the grapes. Its tail will keep it balanced, and its back legs will take it far in the finish's long-distance race!

The grapes come from the Koounga vineyard in Barossa of winemaker John Kalleske. With a deep layer of clay, the roots of the grapevines have to search for limited groundwater here, which gives concentration, strength and depth. The grapes are fermented in open tanks, with the grape pulp being pumped over twice a day. The wine then ferments a second time in oak barrels to add extra color and intensity. The wine then ages for 18 months in new French oak barrels and used American oak. In the glass, this top model from Redheads is a deep dark red with black cherries and raspberries in the nose, a cigar box (tobacco and cedar wood) and charcoal. In the mouth the wine is full bodied, firm, full of silky tannins and with sweet cherries and notes of oak.
