Ricca Terra Soldiers’ Land Shiraz 2024

This wine has two purposes. The first is to acknowledge & hopefully preserve the remaining old vineyards located in the Riverland (planted by returning soldiers but unfortunately many have been removed for economic reasons). The second purpose is to provide ongoing funding to the Returned & Services League (RSL). Today marks the birth of a partnership between Ricca Terra & RSL.

Your purchase of this wine will help both causes.

Is this your big rich, overripe, in-your-face Shiraz? The answer is No! The colour is red brick and dense. The nose is full of classic Shiraz 'white pepper’ with plums and chocolate. The palate is lively, fresh and generous. It is a perfect all year round Shiraz (winter and summer).

• Notes

  Fermented in old oak barrels using yeast that was found in the vineyard (natural fermentation). Made in a fresh and youthful style, this wine spent five months in oak before being bottled.

• Viticulture

  Harvested from two seperate hand pruned vineyards located in Berri, South Australia. Each vineyard was planted by returning soldiers from World War Two and were hand picked in late April.
