Ricca Terra 2019 Bronco Buster White (Riverland)

This blend, organically grown and made in the inland Riverland region of South Australia, consists mainly of Fiano with some Greco, Arinto and Vermentino. If the blend sounds unique, so, too, is the wine. While this vintage doesn't have quite the same intrigue as the previous one, it nevertheless offers fleshy, waxy fruit in the form of citrus and pineapple rind, spicy greens and some seashell-like reductive qualities. The palate is mouthfilling and has a beeswax texture sliced through with zingy acidity. A wild herb and saline character flows to the finish. A somewhat wild, food-friendly bottling. Christina Pickard
