About this wine

Preservative Free

Mr. Brightside Shiraz is a rich, juicy, and effortlessly approachable McLaren Vale Shiraz that delivers pure flavour and enjoyment. A heady perfume of black fruits leads into a plush, fruit-driven palate bursting with blackcurrant and light spice. Soft and flavoursome, with a touch of new but predominantly neutral oak for fermentation, it balances depth with an easy-drinking appeal. Crafted for those who love serious wines with a playful edge, this Shiraz is perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for up to ten years. Pair it with barbecued meats, rich pasta dishes, or aged cheddar for a bold yet inviting experience.

    Producer: Mr. Riggs Wine Co.

    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.
