About this wine
Awarded 93 points by Sam Kim of Wine Orbit, Mr. Riggs Cold Chalk Chardonnay is a meticulously crafted expression of McLaren Vale Chardonnay. Harvested early to preserve freshness, this wine showcases bright natural acidity, a flinty, steely edge, and a chalky mouthfeel, all while maintaining purity of fruit. Layers of citrus, stone fruit, and subtle mineral notes create a refined, balanced palate with remarkable complexity and freshness.

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
Food pairing suggestions
This wine is a perfect companion to poultry, lobster, and shellfish. Rich, creamy sauces, soft cheeses like brie and camembert, and earthy mushrooms bring out its layered complexity.
It also works beautifully with grilled or pan-fried fish, including raw seafood like sashimi. Poached or steamed chicken, cheddar, onion, garlic, roasted root vegetables, squash, fresh herbs, toasted nuts and seeds, pasta, potatoes, and whole grains make excellent pairings.
