Thirsting For Thistledown»
Somewhere near the Seaview end of McLaren Vale's Chapel Hill Road, a perfunctory passerine perched her pincers astride a pair of power poles and saw herself alit. Down she went amongst the dry grown branches of an old Grenache vineyard, setting the valuable veterans ablaze. The scorched site eventually came to the attention of a winemaking trio, the Messrs Leske, Tynan & Cooke, Masters of Wine and a venerable vintner, all driven by a consuming passion to make greater Grenache. Thistledown vintage very small amounts of the most extraordinary Grenache. Beautifully detailed and conspicuously elegant, their floral bouquets and graceful finish emulate the aromatic lift and peacock's tail of a prettily.. Polly & the pyre to paradise»

Red Edge vineyard was planted in 1971 and named Red Hill by founder Vern Viertmann. In 1980 it was acquired by Laurie Williams and John Flynn who produced the highly acclaimed 1981 and 1982 vintages of Flynn and Williams. Viniculture at the tiny, a few hundred cases, estate is true to the boutique vineyard operator's minimalist, traditional principles. Small batch open fermentations using wild indigenous yeast, inclusion of some whole bunches, and neither fining nor filtration at bottling, achieve a wine exhibiting real individuality and a true expression of Heathcote terroir. Maturation twelve months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels.
Deep, dark red in colour. Sweet rich upfront fruit expected of Heathcote Shiraz. Sweet powerful intense fruit, still quite tight with spicy acidity, and fine grained charry tannins. An unctuous palate, demanding another mouthful. Juicy sweet berry fruit leading to a flavourful firm tannin finish.

Red Edge
Red Edge is an exclusive boutique vineyard originally planted to some of the richest Cambrian soils at Heathcote in 1971

In 1994 Judy and Peter Dredge purchased the five acre Red Edge estate. Currently planted to Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, on a ridge of Cambrian red volcanic soil, which runs parallel to the Northern Highway through Heathcote, and towards Mount Carmel. All the premium Heathcote vineyards whose wines are gaining international acclaim are planted on the same geological feature.

Red Edge

"Red Edge is a new name on the scene, but the vineyard dates back to 1971, at the renaissance of the Victorian wine industry. In the early 1980s it produced the wonderful wines of Flynn & Williams and has now been rehabilitated by Peter and Judy Dredge, producing two quite lovely wines in their inaugural 1997 vintage. For the time being, at least, Peter Dredge continues to keep body and soul together by making the wines at Wildwood and at Witchmount Estate, Rockbank. Trying to eke a living out of 500 cases of what in these days are moderately priced wines is simply not possible!" -Winepros.com.au
