Piebald Syrah

Mr. Riggs has a simple and personal vision, ‘black and white’ if you like, to make wine that Ben Riggs himself loves to drink – Winemaker’s wine. As it happens, this wine too is black and white, also known as Piebald; a fermentation of blackest of black ‘Syrah’ (Shiraz). Thus the reason for introducing ‘Piebald’ to the label.
