Ricca Terra, Riverland SA
Ricca Terra is the creation of husband & wife team, Ashley & Holly Ratcliff. In 2003 they purchased their first vineyard in Barmera, South Australia.
Their vision was to plant, nurture & make wine from grape varieties best suited to Australia’s warm & dry climate. Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot quickly made way for Nero d’Avola, Montepulciano, Tinta Barroca, Fiano, Vermentino and many other Mediterranean varieties.
Ricca Terra is recognised for its innovation, leadership & vision, which helps contribute to the future reputation & excitement of Australian Wine. Winner of the Gourmet Traveller Viticulturist of the Year, Ashley & Holly have challenged tradition & forged lasting change with their vineyards & wines.
Nero d'Avola 2020
"Beautifully medium bodied, don't over think it, just indulge. Blackberry fruit, dark cherries, some sweetish spices and dried herbs with a dusty rub of tannin. There's no escaping its approachability as it slips down with ease leaving that Italian crunch factor in its wake. Yes please." qwinereviews.com
