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.

The Piebald fruit is sourced from Ben’s own ‘Piebald Gully’ vineyard in the north eastern corner of McLaren Vale. The coolest sub-region bordering the Adelaide Hills. Planted in deep sand over clay at the base of the Willunga foothills, the vineyard is low yielding, late ripening and virtually dry grown, producing an elegant and refined style of Syrah with fine structure and spicy aromatics.
