Redhouse
Redhouse operates in McLaren Vale, the Fleurieu Peninsula's most established wine region in South Australia. The winery focuses on Grenache and Shiraz—varieties that thrive in McLaren Vale's warm continental climate, where maritime influence from Gulf St. Vincent moderates summer heat. The region's red-earth soils and diurnal temperature swing produce wines of ripe fruit and structural depth. Redhouse's Shiraz-Grenache blend demonstrates the region's signature character: a wine that balances the peppery spice and earthiness of Grenache with Shiraz's dark fruit and tannin weight. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have assessed the winery's output, reflecting the critical attention McLaren Vale commands as a source of serious, age-worthy reds.
