The Gaffer is a tribute to Ben Riggs great-great-great grandfather, John ‘The Gaffer’ Riggs (1814-1902), who was one of South Australia’s most renowned farmers. This McLaren Vale Shiraz was made to acknowledge 150 years of the Riggs family’s rich farming heritage in South Australia. Since 2006 The Gaffer Shiraz has worn its pink cap in acknowledgement of our partnership with the Flinders Foundation and their fight against cancer.
