About RedHeads

RedHeads emerged in 2002 from the visionary minds of the Laithwaite family, who saw South Australia's wine potential back in the 1990s.

Situated in the heart of the Barossa, with a team of passionate winemakers, an 8-hectare vineyard estate, and close-knit connections with a community of grape-growing enthusiasts, we're dedicated to bringing the finest fruits of South Australia into your glass.

Sustainability

At RedHeads, sustainability isn't just a buzzword, it's our ethos. Inside our purpose-built eco winery, wines are hand-crafted from over 20 grape varieties, in small batches, proudly vegan-friendly, and bursting with personality.

Our trophy shelf is a testament to our commitment to innovation and eco-consciousness. We picked up the 2019 Global Drinks Business Green Award for Water Management and received a special shoutout for Power Management in 2020. Our winery is officially certified organic by the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia (NASAA).

Meet Darren Harvey
Winemaker

Crafting RedHeads' vast array of wines and varieties, Darren can be found meticulously tending to the wines in the winery.

Darren Harvey

Winemaker

Darren didn’t jump straight into wine as a career having spent 15 years working as a hotel manager in Australia, the UK and America while also travelling through Europe. However, it was during these journeys that his love of wine began to grow. For him, it was about the experience and enjoyment of wine, the diversity, the regions, the passion and the culture.

After coming home to Adelaide, Darren completed a degree in viticulture and oenology at Adelaide Uni. He travelled around and studied wine along the west coast of America and British Columbia where he toured winery operations while sampling the best they had to offer. On top of this, he brings with him experience from the Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills to our RedHeads Studio.
