Hills Are Alive Adelaide Hills Shiraz
Mr Riggs Valerie Pinot Noir
Named after Ben’s mother, Valerie, the Matriarch of the Riggs family. 15% of the fruit was kept as whole bunch to add texture and complexity as well as a little bit of tannin weight. The wine was fermented over an 8 day period and then pressed directly to a mixture of French barriques and puncheons with 20% being new oak where it matured for a period of 6 months. Semi translucent red to dark red core with black toned edges and a light red hue. Perfumed like violet scents mix with red to dark cherry and wild strawberries followed by some forest floor, fresh herb and spicy cedar notes. Delicious dark cherry and strawberry fruits are delivered with intensity and possess a lovely supple feel. Lending further interest are notions of subtle anise, dried herbs, forest floor and spicy cedar. Excellent power wave with polished tannins and a long succulently fruited finish that’s quite savoury. Drink over the next 4-5 years. Alc. 13.5%

One for cellar or decant now for an hour before serving.
Commune of Buttons Pompette
Pompette is Jasper Button’s idea of the perfect bistro red - bright, fresh, and dangerously easy to drink. The name means “pleasantly tipsy” in French, which feels pretty spot on once you’ve had a glass or two. It’s mostly Syrah from the Kas Sluiter Vineyard in Mylor, with a splash of Pinot Noir from Piccadilly to bring some crunch and lift. The fruit was hand-picked, destemmed and naturally fermented, then left to rest in fibreglass tanks for ten months. No oak, just clean, pure fruit and a heap of charm built for drinking any day of the week. You get juicy dark berries, violets and spice from the Syrah, while the Pinot keeps things bright and energetic. It’s medium-bodied, silky and a little savoury, the kind of red that feels right at home with pizza, pasta or a sunny afternoon picnic.
The Pawn Sangiovese

With a deep, ruby red hue, this wine is visually enticing and offers a preview of its rich aromas. On the nose, notes of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums are complemented by hints of tobacco and spice. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance of acidity and tannins. Flavors of dark fruits, specifically black cherries and plums, are accented by subtle oak and a touch of earthiness. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering sensation of dark fruit and spice. Overall, The Pawn Sangiovese 2022 is a superb wine that showcases the Adelaide Hills' cool climate and The Pawn Wine Co's dedication to quality winemaking.
