Founded in 2001, Mr. Riggs Wine Co. is headed by iconic South Australian Winemaker, Ben Riggs.
Ben graduated from Roseworthy Agricultural College in Adelaide, and furthered his experience through vintages abroad in the Napa Valley, Bordeaux, Greece, Italy, and the South of France as well as Australia. Ben has logged a whopping 47 vintages in total.
Ben’s wines have pleased many palates over the years including those of judges, winning 44 trophies and titles. He has also been nominated for Gourmet Traveller WINE Winemaker of the Year in 2005 and 2013.
In 2001 Mr. Riggs Wine Co. was founded where Ben turned the focus inwards and put his own name (and produce) in lights. Through Mr. Riggs, Ben is able to create wines that pay homage to the vineyard and varietal in a style that he loves to drink.
Our philosophy is to craft unpretentious wines that express the essence of the vineyard and the region’s terroir in a style that Ben himself enjoys drinking; big, rich and complex, but also with finesse, texture and elegance.
