Mr Riggs Montepulciano d’Adelaide 2018

A “beast” of a Monte from the great Ben Riggs

Item Unavailable

Description Italian style... Australian made... When Ben Riggs was working in Europe, he fell in love with the famed Montepulciano d’Abruzzo of Italy. Inspired by these intense wines, Ben has crafted an Aussie ‘Montepulciano d’Adelaide’ of his own. A beast! Made with fruit from the Amadio Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, and Pollux vineyard in McLaren Vale, this is a BIG wine. Taste and see!
“Montepulciano is a beast if you let it off the leash, and that’s what Ben Riggs did with this wine. It requires not just any protein, it needs a 1kg bistecca fiorentina to tame it” (Halliday).

The South Australian wine industry is responsible for more than half the production of all Australian wine. South Australia is a vast area with a great diversity in geography, allowing the state to produce a wide range of grape varieties from cool-climate Riesling in the Clare Valley to big, full-bodied Shiraz of the Barossa Valley. Some of Australia's most famous wines like Penfolds Grange, Jacob's Creek, Yalumba and Henschke Hill of Grace are produced here.
