Mr Riggs 2021 Mrs. Pinot Gris
Our Notes
The “Mrs.” Pinot Gris from Mr Riggs is great fun even before a sip, with a gently honeyed aroma bursting from the glass.
Yellow seems to be the theme, with banana, honey, nashi pear and controlled lemon acidity, and there’s even a golden edge to that beautiful silvery PG grey.
From The Winemaker
We’re excited to introduce you to the newest member of the Generation Series, Mrs. Pinot Gris.
Ben wanted to introduce this new vino to the range because of his connection with the Woodside vineyard. He has made many wines from the Woodside vineyard and the consistent quality of the vineyard finally made Ben set aside his prejudices and put it under the Mr. Riggs moniker.
This is a delicate, bright and floral expression of Pinot Gris. True to style and textured with notes of pear and white peach.
About the Winery
Since 2001, winemaker Ben Riggs, a dead ringer for actor Michael McKean, has produced premium but unpretentious wines from a base in McLaren vale, making use of fruit from both that region and around South Australia.
The wines, driven by Riggs’ own time-honed tastes and whims, are as personality-driven as the label’s name suggests, and display lashings of regional terroir.
