The Redman x 2

A wine that is only released in years that we deem it worthy. The finest parcels of fruit from our family vineyards. This is the first release since the 2010 vintage and there were only 185 dozen of this beautiful blend made. Dan and Bruce delicately blended 70% cabernet with 30% shiraz to produce a wine that’s beautifully balanced.   A bottle for now, and one for the cellar!

"Made from what Redman describes as 'the best of the best [of its] cabernet and shiraz'. The blend is 70/30% cabernet sauvignon/shiraz; 12 months in French oak (35% new). It's assertively tannic but not to the point of imbalance. Indeed it's an intriguing wine, sinewy at heart but with fruit flavour that builds and builds as it breathes. Resin, redcurrant and mint flavours teem with cedar and polished leather. It's by no means a big wine, but its charms are significant."   95 Points.  Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion, July 2023.
