Its coming home with you! You will get that exact feeling with this wine, first sip and you will think... bargain and just keep coming back for more!

Ashley Ratcliff (Founder) has a background in Viticulture and has always been passionate about the wine industry. he and and wife purchased their first vineyard in Barmera South Australia with a vision to plant, nurture and make wine from wine varieties that were best suited to Australia's warm and dry climate. Ricca Terra is definitely making a name for themselves in the industry accumulating some of the industries best awards. Their wine has blends that have yet to be seen here at Wine Brothers, so if you are looking for something you have yet to try, Ricca Terra is a sure bet!

Grapes were hand harvested at 12.9. Baume, and the fermentation assisted with the inoculation of yeast to ensure a trouble-free conversion of grape sugars to alcohol. The fermentation occurred in old French oak along with lees stirring, which elevated the complexity of this wine. The objective is to make a wine that had good mouth feel and length, which we achieved for our first release. The acid drive, like many other Ricca Terra white wines, was not the core focus of making the Grenache Blanc.
