2024 Grenache Blanc
Ricca Terra's Grenache Blanc is possibly one of the first Grenache Blancs to be produced in Australia, this amazing grape variety is suited to warm, dry climates. 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.
"Beautiful weight & texture. A lick of saline minerality, some cool white stone fruits and sliced pears."
The Story
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!
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. The acid drive, like many other Ricca Terra white wines, was not the core focus of making the Grenache Blanc.
