Mr Riggs Mrs Pinot Gris 2026
AU$24, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
Clean flavours of peach pulp, pear, apple and citrus put on a refreshing show here. It doesn’t have a lot of weight or intensity and from a pure drinkability standpoint, that’s part of the appeal. There’s just-enough flavour to hang onto here, and it washes down without fuss.
