Details
A juicy Riesling blended with the aromatic grape Zibbibo (aka Muscat, but not the ones you buy in the supermarket) and Doradillo. Dominated by clean and fresh citrus flavours, this juicy white has plenty of generosity to keep you coming back for a (well chilled) second helping.

A 22 degree halo is a visual moon ring, and according to folklore warns of forecoming climatic change. This kind of symbology is fitting for the mission of Ashley Ratcliff, viticultural pioneer behind the Ricca Terra Farms Project. He has planted varieties in the dry desert that is the Riverland, believing that they are better suited to deal with the new climatic norms. And so far, he hasn't been wrong! These stepping-stone wines bring together grapes which originate from cooler European regions, with adaptive grape varieties well reputed to making great wines in our warm Australian climate. They are wines for our changing times, and the varietal mix encapsulates that so well. Both traditional and new-wave varieties here - the best of both worlds! These are delicious wines, made with flavour and fun in mind - in all, well made for dropping in the esky and taking to the park over the summer months!

Pairing guide
Beautifully balanced and with a truly irresistible crisp character, this stunning Riesling blend couldn’t be more food-friendly and versatile if it tried! It’s a natural match for Chinese sweet and sour dishes, broccoli and chicken Japanese curry, tonkatsu creations and sushi or sashimi with a seaweed salad, as well as with spicy noodles, fried rice recipes and all kinds of breaded white meats, chicken salads and cauliflower dishes. Firm white fish, seafood feasts and simple pasta dishes will also work wonders with this wine.

Wine region
Riverland, Australia
Located in the heart of South Australia, the Riverland wine region is a tropical paradise for wine lovers. The region was formerly known for its traditional wines, particularly Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Grenache as well as its abundance of sunshine and beautiful scenery. In the last few years it's added a raft of Mediterranean varieties to its charm - think Fiano and Nero d'Avola. The warm climate and fertile soils of the Riverland make it a perfect place for grape growing, and the wines produced there are bursting with flavour. So why not explore the wines of the Riverland and discover a new favourite?
