Following traditions unique to the region, this sparkling builds its base from mature, developed McLaren Vale Shiraz and is combined with a tiny batch of older Grenache that gives it both lift and spice. This is then finished off with a small batch of fortified vintage Shiraz from Ben’s prized Piebald Vineyard, which brings the subtle sweetness to an otherwise rich
and complex wine.
The Battle Axe (my beautiful mother in law) is the motivation for this premium sparkling Shiraz. Traditionally made with mature premium McLaren Vale Shiraz aged in old oak, finished off with a touch of vintage fortified Shiraz.
This wine is luscious, dry, complex, balanced and versatile.
Red fruits and black cherry and cranberry freshness, a real berry cocktail, great balance and a lovely synergy between bubbles, astringency and sweetness.
