Wine can often be intimidating with loads of terms that make it hard to understand the pomp and language that winemakers use. Our winemaker Dan Redman breaks down the A-Z of some of the most common wine terms and explains what they mean in layman’s language.
The majority of wines are consumed within hours of purchase! Hard to believe, but true. For those true collectors, there’s often nothing more satisfying than laying down your treasured wine purchases in the cellar, waiting in anticipation for the wines to reach their peak drinking conditions and letting the wine evolve further in the bottle.
Coonawarra is home to many legendary characters – John Riddoch, William Wilson, David Wynn and our own Bill Redman were very much part of the fabric of our wine community from the early days. As we wander through some of our old vineyards in 2020, celebrating 50 years of producing Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon, it would be remiss of us not to tell you the story of Arthur Hoffmann, a prominent local character, pioneering viticulturist and vital part of the Redman wine story.
Enhance your next barbecue with wine-soaked oak barrel chips—smoke meats, veggies, and more for rich, wine-infused flavour that pairs perfectly with Redman reds.
Brothers Bruce and Mal Redman celebrate 40 vintages of winemaking side by side, honouring tradition while evolving the Redman legacy for future generations!
