Redgate was planted in 1977 by the Ullinger family and is to this day family owned and operated. Redgate's vines are grown on a ridge of ancient soils less than three kilometres from the Indian Ocean. This unique combination of soil and maritime clime enable Redgate to nurture fifty acres of vine for the production of true boutique wines. Crafted around a backbone of estate grown fruit, components of Bin 588 are vinified separately to drynesss, followed by transfer to a mix of one and two year old French and American oak barrels for completion of malolactic and a year's maturation. Barrels are treated to rigorous fining trials to achieve the finest balance and determine the final assemblage.
