Tasting Notes

Mr. Brightside Shiraz (Preservative Free) 2024

"From a single site in Willunga, this is made in the same way each year – fermented cool to about 8% in a rotary fermenter, then pressed to tank to complete fermentation and rest for a couple of months. No sulphur. Juicy and dark fruited. Blackberry pastille, black cherry liqueur, allspice, anise, white pepper, carob and some wild herbs, offering plenty of flavour without overstepping. Fine, coffee-ground tannins tighten the finish."  Marcus Ellis 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.”
