The 2022 Arinto is grown in the Riverland at Ricca Terra Farms who have made waves with their plantings of emerging varieties that bode well for our warming climate. Crafted by Matt Large who has been able to capture the grapefruit pith, oyster shell and zingy acidity the variety is favoured for. Add to this a pretty star jasmine perfume and sleek whiplash of acidity across the tongue. What you've got here is one crisp dry white with a confident little attitude. I can see this being guzzled down with a cos heart lettuce salad smothered in anchovies and cesar dressing.

It's grown on the noted Ricca Terra Farms vineyard. Love the texture, love the flavour. Grapefruit, pear, cooked apple and roses. It has presence. It has mouthfeel. It has pebbly/spicy aspects too. Lovely wine. Fruity but with more.

Tasting Notes
A fine but textured palate, with some lemon pith and apple skin flavours, and a very moreish saline, seaspray note. Good acid levels keep the wine taut, but there is also some texture from skin contact that adds interest, and some flesh in the mid-palate.
