While a relatively new grape variety to Australia, it will no doubt turn heads as it produces a wine with rich aromas and palate weight.

ABOUT
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.
We are committed to investing in Mediterranean grape varieties and discovering how best they suit our region. We are excited by their unique qualities, ability to adapt to our climate, and of course their drinkability!
