Description
An organically-grown gem from our Riverland grower – Ricca Terra Farms.
Handpicked, cold soak 4 days, 20% wholebunch wild ferment, then matured in aged oak for eight months. Unfined, unfiltered, minimum sulphur for protection.
Deep ruby-red colour. Aromas of spicy plum, floral/herbal tea characters, savoury and earthy red-fruits. Slight citrus elements, some perfume and dustiness for lift.
Red and black-fruits head up the palate – some strawberry, dark cherry and plum – along with toasted spice nuances. Structurally sound and upright – tannins are fine-grained and some good crunchy acidity rounds out the finish.
This wine is a medium-bodied, savoury dry red, ideal for year-round drinking.
Brad –
Perhaps the most ‘complete’ of the current crop of Amato release. Sweet-sour fruit, savouriness, good length and spread of rangey, grainy tannin. For quaffing or for contemplation; it works both ways. 93 Points
