2022 Una Vita
94 POINTS - HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION
Opportunities are plentiful for those who rise to seize the day. Una Vita - One Life - A chance to change and leave a legacy
A rich ruby red appearance is met with aromas of violet and chocolate. The palate has fine tannins, refined acid line and great length. Una Vita is an elegant, balanced and unique addition to Australia’s premium wines.
"I’m fairly sure no one has ever blended the Portuguese grape souzao with the Italian nero d’Avola and French shiraz before – certainly not using hand-harvested Riverland grapes. After tasting this, though, they should think about doing it because it’s a delicious amalgam: wild-fermented and matured in French oak barrels, the wine is full of ripe, expressive black-purple berries flooding across the tongue, with just enough fine, firm tannin tucked in among all the fruit to provide grip and interest."

The Story
Every step walked through vineyards, wineries or the finest restaurants in Australia and around the world, I have gathered small gems of information that have led to the curation of the finest wine made by Ricca Terra. Such a wine does not just happen! It takes vision, determination and time. Time is the essential ingredient. Our subconscious sometimes tricks us about the availability of time, but finite is something time is not! Time gifts opportunities, failures and rewards. If seized appropriately, a legacy can evolve!
Gently tended by hand through meticulous pruning and harvesting, the grapes from these vineyards are transformed.
The wine undergoes fermentation with natural yeast and matures gracefully for twenty months within the embrace of seasoned French oak barrels, revealing a testament to artisanal craftsmanship.
Grown using sustainable farming practices and vegan friendly.
