Mr Riggs The Delinquent Shiraz 2018

The Shiraz grapes used to make ‘The Delinquent’ have been sourced from select vineyards in McLaren Vale. With dominant winter rainfall and warm, dry summers of low humidity tempered by the proximity to the Gulf St. Vincent, McLaren Vale has one of the most consistent climates in which to grow premium wine grapes, particularly Shiraz. Due to the optimal ripening periods, vintage 2018 has delivered exceptional quality and balance; in Ben’s words, “The 2018 vintage will be the best of all the great vintages in the last 20 years.” The wine has a long, soft and juicy palate and lush mouth feel, bursting with nuances of blackberry, blueberry jam and liquorice. This wine delivers an exceptional McLaren Vale Shiraz experience and will be best enjoyed over the next 7 years.
