Mr. Riggs Mrs Pinot Gris 6pk 2023
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.”

Mr Riggs Wine Company Mrs Pinot Gris 2023
Slippery, slurpy textured white just shy of medium weight. Hallmark nashi pear, brown pear and lime characters with a dash of spice. Just so. Not a lot more happening here, but it is a pleasing drink, and the light, almost brown-pear-skin savoury element in the wine elevates things nicely. Refreshing through the finish too, which is a clincher. Well done.
