Description
Like all wines from Redheads Studio, this special wine also has a story. Those who sit in the proverbial 'catbird seat' have the most advantageous position and are in control. RedHeads winemakers are always in this privileged situation with the vineyards from which they source their grapes! The grapes come from a 'single vineyard' in Coonawarra. The grapes are picked in the afternoon to avoid morning dew. The grapes are destemmed and partly fermented in wooden barrels. The wine matures in French oak barrels for 18 months.
In the glass, this RedHeads Catbird Seat Cabernet Sauvignon is dark red with aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants and plums on the nose. Dark chocolate, tobacco and vanilla. On the palate this is a firm wine with powerful, earthy tannins that suit Coonawarra. The wine has a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness. Long finish with notes of spices and leather. Delicious with a 'beef brisket' from the barbecue.

Terra rossa - the Coonawarra terroir
The extremely fertile terra rossa soil covers a small area of 2 x 20 kilometers, giving the vines an unmistakable, distinctive character. The red clay layer of limestone, the pure water in the subsoil and the sea wind together create a terroir that allows the grapes to ripen slowly. The terra rossa Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Coonawarra are considered some of the best wines from South Australia. Unknown to many, but Coonowarra is a cool area and even cooler than Bordeaux, among others. The area is fantastic for Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

Wijnhuis
Redheads Studio winery is located in South Australia in the town of Tanuda, in the Barossa Valley where the dedicated team behind Redheads work tirelessly, from the vine to the bottle and beyond, to ensure the wines can always be in their best condition drunk.
It all started with a few Aussie winemakers who went to France to show the 'old hands' some new tricks there. Australian wine had conquered the world in the 1970s and 1980s. That's why Tony Laithwaite brought some Aussies to France. It was there that the very beginning of RedHead's new viticultural movement was laid.
In a small shed in McLaren Vale, a former Indian restaurant, some winemakers took on the challenge of making their dream come true: making beautiful, creative wines in small volumes with primary focus on quality.
They wanted to make wines without being bothered by all kinds of business worries, which resulted in an explosion of creativity and experiments.
Meanwhile, winery Redheads is making great international progress and they still give young talents the opportunity to let their creativity and talents loose on the best grapes in the region. Redheads Wines says of itself: “A free-spirited, movement liberating the best grapes from the premium labels to make wines with soul, character and personality”
