The winery Redheads has launched 2 new wines. The MC1R Blonde and the MC1R Rouge. MC1R is the gene that determines which hair color you get. The Redheads MC1R Blonde is made from a large portion of Chardonnay, supplemented with Viognier and some Roussanne. The grapes for the MC1R Blonde come from the Adelaide Hills and are picked by hand. The wine is fermented in French oak barrels with wild yeasts with regular batonnage (the stirring of the yeast cells) to make the wine softer and rounder. The wine is then aged for six months in oak barrels, both new and used.
In the glass, the MC1R Blonde is yellow gold. The wine is fruity, with notes of apricot, with spicy and floral notes, peach and hint of citrus and a subtle creaminess. A delicious round full-bodied wine and one is an excellent wine with a Thai fish curry.
FACT: The wines of RedHeads were the official house wines in 2019 during the RedHead Days in Tilburg. RedHead Days is the largest international festival for redheads and fans. 25,000 visitors from the Netherlands and far beyond the national border came to the festival. Visitors could taste the wines of RedHeads and attend a masterclass.
