winemaker's notes
Named in honour of John 'The Gaffer' Riggs (1814-1902), the great-great-great grandfather of winemaker Ben Riggs, this McLaren Vale blended Shiraz was made to acknowledge 150 years of the Riggs family's rich farming heritage in South Australia. The simple black and white packaging has been given a splash of pink. A total of $40,000 has been donated to the Flinders Medical Centre Foundation (FMCF) and their fight against breast cancer. The donated funds have helped the FMCF secure a worldwide breast cancer patent and assisted in raising a little awareness for the cause along the way. 'The Gaffer' is a flavoursome, fruit-driven, full-bodied Shiraz that is well balanced and assured to please the palate...with a touch of pink!
