Buy a bottle of wine; do some good

So you like your red wines big, bold and in your face?

You favour the idea of buying a wine that is designed to do some good? 

Sales of Mr Riggs The Gaffer Shiraz have so far helped raise over $220,000 for cancer research. 

The 2022 vintage - now on sale with its eye-catching pink capsule and label sticker - costs $25 a bottle and Mr. Riggs Wine Co. runs its annual Gaffer Month campaign in August, donating proceeds of The Gaffer Shiraz to The Flinders Foundation. 

Now in its 18th year, the pink cap that gives back offers trade incentives to encourage people to support the worthy cause.

The Gaffer is a tribute to Ben Riggs’ great-great-grandfather, John ‘The Gaffer’ Riggs (1814-1902), one of South Australia’s most renowned farmers. 

Since 2006, The Gaffer Shiraz has worn its pink capsule to acknowledge the partnership with the Flinders Foundation and its fight against cancer. 

The fruit is sourced from five vineyards and is matured to oak, 90% French and 10% American. It is then blended just before bottling. 

It is not a shy wine; it packs a punch in more ways than one.
