This gloriously full-bodied wine is the first Mr. Riggs Sparkling Shiraz in my Generation Series. Following traditions unique to our region, this sparkling builds its base from mature, developed McLaren Vale Shiraz. It's finished off with a small batch of fortified vintage Shiraz - let's call it the final push from The Iron Lady, the most famous Battle-Axe of them all.
I Named this wine after my beautiful mother-in-law, who I call The Battle Axe - in complete jest of course, as she couldn't possibly be more different to her given nickname. The Battle-Axe is a a premium sparkling red - rich and luscious, complex yet balanced. It's also one of the most versatile food wines imaginable, yet confidently flies solo.
