"In this case, Riggs has journeyed to McLaren Vale to source the Grenache from a very good year. It’s once again that modern style, so it’s lighter in the medium-bodied zone, but there is no lack of fruit intensity and flavour. The nose displays all those floral, raspberry, rose petal notes that you might expect, while the palate has a subtle, savoury rusticness running through it, contributing to a slightly grainy texture, but loads of deeply intense bright red fruits, and a slightly crunchy watermelon cranberry feel that I found most appealing." 94 Points, Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot
"The fruit here is sweet but the length, mouthfeel and overall impression is delicious plus plus. This is a lovely wine to drink. It tastes of raspberry, potpourri, peppercorns and sweet, roasted spices, and both the overall flow and the finesse of the tannin are spot on. McLaren Vale grenache, once again, for the win." 93 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
"Poached strawberry, orange and rhubarb, redcurrant gelee, cranberry sauce, dark rose petals. This is lightly coloured, vibrant and forward, with some complexing spices – white pepper, cardamom, mace. The palate flows in the same vein, with some upfront fruitful appeal that is marshalled down a savoury line, and in an orderly, considered way." 92 Points, Special Value, 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.”
