Tasting Notes

Mr. Riggs Watervale Riesling  2024
"Somewhat subdued on the nose with earthy mineral notes uppermost, then dried-floral characters. It's bright and crisp in the mouth, with properly dry balance and a firm finish that lingers on. Acidity is quite pronounced and the finish is very arid—almost austere. Age and food will help it." 90 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review

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.”
