Tasting Notes

"Perfumed, floral and fruity on the nose and then dry and bitey (in a good way) on the palate. Brine, lime rind, chalk and suggestions of tutti-fruiti flavour get the job done. There's a soft, gum-like texture to the palate too, in a zippy context. This would work well at the lunch table." 90 Points, Special Value, Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion

Winemaker Ben (Mr.) Riggs follows the philosophy “iconic wines from iconic regions”. Whether it’s McLaren Vale Shiraz, Coonawarra Cabernet, or Clare Valley Riesling, his wines are expressing the essence of the vineyard and variety in a style that is big, rich and complex, but also with finesse, texture and elegance. In Ben’s own words: “Think Ella Fitzgerald – bombastic and powerful with a huge vocal range, yet with purity of tone and a gentle sensibility when needed.”
