Mr. RiggsEin Riese Adelaide Hills Riesling
About this product
Made as an off-dry German Style Riesling, ‘Ein Riese’ is German for ‘a giant’. A delicate nose with floral notes and citrus blossom, with an entrancing combination of sweetness, crispiness and tang on the palate. This wine is finely balanced through natural acidity, and is winemaker Ben Riggs's tribute to the wine style he most admires.

Light bodied white wines have a water-light mouthfeel. Often very pale to light colour.
Off-dry wines have the merest trace of sweetness.

Ein Riese, or 'giant', indicates the ilk of wine that Ben Riggs enjoys drinking. German riesling, this an homage. Steel ribbed enough, with lime cordial, quince and ginger spice teeming down juicy acid rails. The sweetness is swept up well enough and this will prove highly versatile at the table.
