Let us take you on a journey!

At Ricca Terra, we’re always thinking ahead, and our latest endeavour is no exception, planting super high-density olive trees. These innovative trees can produce fruit in just two years, about half the time of traditional olive trees, and seamlessly integrate with our existing vineyard infrastructure

Riverland growers are in crisis. But Ashley Ratcliff of Ricca Terra Wines is buoyed by the region’s potential.

“It feels like shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic,” he said.

It’s a typical sentiment for anyone involved in the wine industry at this time of year – especially in an enormous region such as the Riverland, where almost a third of all Australia’s grapes are grown. You work 18-hour days seven days a week and still can’t keep on top of all the grapes coming in.

But this year, Ratcliff’s line has more resonance than usual.

"You have two choices. Sit around counting all the challenges we face as an industry. Or you can just get on with it and do great things and inspire the rest of us - like these 50 Stars of 2023. WBM has gone back through the inbox - and the stories - to see who stood up when there was every reason to just sit down. We'll have these 50 Stars on our team any day."

Join us at The Cherry Shed - 18 Dunstone Road, Barmera SA

Sunday, 10th December 2023 - 12pm 'til 6pm

"If you’re looking for something different, and interesting, look no further. This winery is one of the first wineries that I would recommend. It is because every wine in the (well-priced) range here makes you stop and think and appreciate it for its charm, its alternative flavour profile, its confident drinkability. This here is a champion of alternative varieties."

By Campbell Mattinson - Halliday Wine Companion

GLAM Adelaide:

"You’ll catch notable Riverland winery Ricca Terra on the ground floor during Adelaide Fashion Week from the 20th until the 22nd of October, on Friday from 11-2pm and then 3-8pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 11-4:30pm. There will be live music from local musicians as well, which is only fitting for a partnership between Myer Centre and Ricca Terra who are helping create unique experiences celebrating South Australian success stories."  

Ever wanted to understand how wines are grown and made? Or taste wine in the vineyard where they are grown? Even better, spend time on the river enjoying a beautiful glass of Ricca Terra.
