Mr. Riggs Woodside Sauvignon Blanc 2026
AU$24, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
This is an easy wine to enjoy. It carries good intensity of citrus-driven fruit flavours though orange jelly, slate and lemon sorbet notes help to give it a bit extra. It’s juicy, open and ready-to-rip right now; all the lights are green here.
