"Picked on different days to allow for optimum ripening, parcels of fruit for the Mr. Riggs 2012 "Outpost" Coonawarra Cabernet were separately fermented in 7 and 8 tonne open fermenters. On-skin fermentation was completed before pressings were sent to barrel for 13-17 months to complete fermentation in a 30% new American and French oak combination. Very proud of the fourth vintage of this fine addition to the Mr. Riggs portfolio, Ben notes that it is a very fragrant, aromatic, tightly structured Coonawarra Cabernet with a lovely, soft, juicy middle palate."
Mr. Riggs
"A standout cabernet at this price, with deep red-purple colour and lovely balance of fruit and oak, good ripeness; intense and fleshy on the palate with density and persistence. It will age superbly".
