Adieu Lady Jane.

Recently RedHeads said a sad farewell to our very own Lady Jane. Jane Parkinson, who has been part of the team (and our voice on the blog) since the New Year took the long flight home to the UK earlier in the week to get back to life as one of the world’s top wine journalists. She will be sorely missed.

Before Jane left us though she, in true RedHeads fashion, got to work on crafting her very own Aussie drop. With a 2-ton open-topped fermenter and some top draw locally sourced fruit at her disposal Jane (with a bit of help from our resident experts) set about creating the Lady Jane Shiraz.

 Yesterday due to some re-organising in the storage shed, the Lady Jane 2011 was tucked away for a well-deserved French oak slumber. It will emerge again in approx 12 months and we hope the Lady herself will return to indulge us in the fruits of her labour, early signs point to it being a cracker!!

Cheers Jane.
