Mr. Riggs Yacca Paddock Tempranillo 12pk 2021
Winery Details
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.”

Mr. Riggs Yacca Paddock Tempranillo 2021
Fully ripe and ready to impress, with lashing of sweet black cherries and spiced plums, Yacca Paddock succeeds in its 'complex yet easy drinking' mantra. It's less about trad tempranillo and more about modern, plummy approachability that hits the spot today. Dense purple/garnet hues. A raucous scent of spices, confection, fruits and red licorice. Sustained fruit intensity and spice work hand in hand with smooth, easygoing tannins through to a long finish.
