Mr. RiggsThe Gaffer Shiraz
About this product
The Gaffer Shiraz is a testament to the best of McLaren Vale. A mediumweight Shiraz, the style of The Gaffer is soft, flavoursome, and fruit driven. Distinctive McLaren Vale characteristics shine through with a spine of sweet, soft, warm tannins whilst on the palate is crunchy, bright, redberries. A wine worth sharing with good friends.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Pure McLaren Vale across its velour of maritime freshness and gentle, assuaging tannins, soldered to black fruits flavours, orange zest, anise and cured meats. The Mr Riggs range, particularly the reds, seems softer, poised and more eminently drinkable than in years gone by. Better tannin management all 'round. Kudos!
