Description ‘Moonlighter’ captures the very essence of the RedHeads concept. Right at the beginning, when RedHeads started in the McLaren Vale, a handful of dedicated, rule-breaking, young winemakers, with a day job at the big corporations, would arrive at RedHeads studio early evening, down a cold beer, then start on crafting a ‘real’ wine, with all the unbridled passion you’d expect from the newly qualified winemaking elite Down Under. At RedHeads, these winemakers were given free-rein to experiment in tiny quantities and the result was some terrific award-winning wines. The same goes on today in the Barossa Valley RedHeads winemaking studio and Moonlighters is a super-innovative blend of grapes and wine regions. This Merlot petit Verdot blend has brought in two Golds, 95 POINTS from Winestate Magazine, and Best of Best Value Buys & Best of Varietal in Winestate Magazine's ‘Best of 2022’ Awards.
The South Australian wine industry is responsible for more than half the production of all Australian wine. South Australia is a vast area with a great diversity in geography, allowing the state to produce a wide range of grape varieties from cool-climate Riesling in the Clare Valley to big, full-bodied Shiraz of the Barossa Valley. Some of Australia's most famous wines like Penfolds Grange, Jacob's Creek, Yalumba and Henschke Hill of Grace are produced here.
