2021 RedHeads Catbird Seat Cabernet Sauvignon

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 they source their grapes from! 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 is aged 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 in 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 spice 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 breeze 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. The area is fantastic for Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
