Winery
Mr Riggs
Mr Riggs is the brand operated by the larger-than-life Ben Riggs, who has established long-term relationships with a number of growers across McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills to create a significant collection of thoroughly professional and well-made wines. The reds are typically smooth, ripe and polished, while the whites are led by the classical Watervale Riesling and the slightly sweet and more delicate Ein Riese Riesling from the Adelaide Hills.
