About this wine
Awarded 94 points by Wine Orbit, Mr. Riggs Montepulciano d'Adelaide 2022 is a bold and expressive South Australian red. Sourced from select vineyards in the Adelaide Hills and Blewitt Springs, this wine bursts with bright violets, beef stock, and crushed mint aromas. The full-bodied palate is rustic and earthy, layered with hints of cinnamon spice, supported by natural acidity and fine tannins. Deep in colour and rich in character, it’s a serious dry red with excellent structure. Perfect alongside slow-cooked meats, mushroom risotto, or aged hard cheeses.

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
Enjoy it best with pork dishes like roast pork, tenderloin, and pork chops. Smoked meats, blue cheese, mushrooms, onion, garlic, tomato, capsicum, and aromatic spices like anise, turmeric, saffron, fennel, and ginger bring out its richness.
It also pairs well with grilled or barbecued lamb, roasted chicken or duck, and cured meats such as salami and prosciutto. Creamy cheeses like brie and camembert, pasta, beans, peas, black pepper, fresh herbs, potatoes, and crusty bread complement the wine perfectly.
