About this wine
Awarded 93 points by Winepilot and 90 points by Halliday Wine Companion, Mr. Riggs The Gaffer Shiraz 2022 is a vibrant and fruit-driven expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Bright red berries take centre stage, supported by a spine of sweet, warm tannins that add depth and structure. Medium-weight and beautifully balanced, this wine captures the distinctive regional character, making it both inviting and approachable. With its silky texture and generous fruit, it pairs effortlessly with chargrilled meats, slow-roasted lamb, or aged cheddar—a perfect wine to share with good friends.

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.”

Food pairing suggestions
This wine is a perfect match for rich red meats like beef, lamb, and venison, especially grilled, barbecued, or roasted. Aged cheeses like cheddar and parmesan, along with dishes seasoned with black pepper or smoky flavours, complement it beautifully.
It also pairs beautifully with grilled or barbecued pork, smoked meats, and cured cuts like salami and prosciutto. Mushrooms, tomato-based dishes, garlic, roasted capsicum, pasta, potatoes, and crusty bread make excellent matches.
