A uniquely Australian style, the Tomahawk Sparkling Shiraz from RedHeads celebrates the rich heritage of sparkling red wines in South Australia. Crafted with a rebellious spirit, this wine captures the bold, dark-fruit intensity of premium Shiraz, transformed by a lively secondary fermentation that introduces a fine, persistent mousse. The name 'Tomahawk' reflects its sharp, impactful flavor profile, bursting with ripe blackberries, dark plums, and exotic baking spices. It represents a playful yet deeply traditional expression of South Australian winemaking, where rich, velvety textures meet refreshing effervescence.
