Ricca Terra Arinto 2018 South Australia Riverland
Ricca Terra Arinto 2018 South Australia RiverlandIt’s a wine which sits somewhere in between a fresh Semillon and Vermentino. Whiffs of lemon and touches of tropical fruit, lemon rind, pineapple sage and green herbs all chip in ensuring a refreshing and crisp wine is delivered. There’s an oily feel through the mouth and a touch of green apple and zippy lemon zest lingers on the finish. Chill hard and you’d be forgiven for emptying the bottle in quick time on a warm afternoon. The summer of cricket and a large pour seem a sensible match for mine.

Avoiding ‘cooked and stewed’ grapes is the challenge when growing Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains and powdery mildew is the primary enemy! Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains is prone to infection and must be managed, while the Fiano and Greco have an ability to hold loads of natural acid when grown in a warm viticultural climate.
To retain the aromatic floral flavors of Muscat Blanc à Pettits Grains, grapes are harvested at around 11.5 Baume and the Fiano is harvested close to 12.0 Baume and then fermented in stainless steel before being matured in old French barrels for six months.
