About this wine
Awarded 90 points by Halliday and 92 points by Sam Kim (Wine Orbit), Mr. Brightside Picpoul is a zesty and refreshing white wine that captures the bright, coastal charm of this unique varietal. Vibrant citrus, delicate blossom, and crisp green apple aromas lead into a lively palate, balancing fresh acidity with subtle honeysuckle sweetness. Clean, precise, and irresistibly crisp, it’s a perfect match for fresh oysters, grilled prawns, or light seafood dishes.

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.”
