Bill Redman clearly had a sense of humour naming his wine Rouge Homme but when it came to quality he was deadly serious. That’s no doubt why his brand has been an integral part of Australia’s wine heritage for the past 50 years. A full, rich red.

The Wine
Rouge Homme or ‘Red Man’ wines are the creation of William Redman. As a boy he arrived in South Australia’s Limestone Coast in 1901, the year Australia became independent, and found work at John Riddoch’s famous winery in Coonawarra. Redman first released Rouge Homme wines quite late in life, in 1954 in fact, and Rouge Homme has been a household name Down Under ever since. This Limestone Coast Shiraz reflects, as always, the famed region’s distinct terroir and the quality of its grapes, with free draining soils and cool conditions helping to intensify the varietal characters. You find aromas of toasty oak and sweet spices with chocolate and red plum flavours encased in soft tannins. Enjoy with slow roasted lamb or tomatoey pasta dishes.
"Rouge Homme is an Aussie institution and the 2012 Shiraz is a cool climate classic"
