Reviews & Accolades

    Mr Riggs The Gaffer Shiraz 2022

    "Straight off the bat this is as good an example of this wine as I have seen. It’s from an excellent McLaren Vale vintage which is reflected in a vibrant expressive, rich and lavishly textured Shiraz. Perfumed plummy cherry notes on the nose lead into a palate that is smooth and seamlessly woven with its mix of 90% French oak and the remainder American. A balancing chalky mouthfeel really sets this off." 93 Points, Ray Jordan, Winepilot

    "This is a pretty handy wine, brimful of sweet, jammy, licorice-infused fruit flavour and lightly adorned with peppercorn and toast notes. Fruit is the hero rather than oak but there’s are just enough hints of the latter to fill it out a bit. This is ready to rip now." 91 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

About this Producer

    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.”
