Ricca Terra Wines
Ricca Terra Wines is a trailblazer in sustainable viticulture, situated in South Australia's Riverland region. Their philosophy centers on aligning climatic conditions with alternative grape varieties that thrive in the warm, arid climate. The Rudi Vineyard, spanning 16 hectares, is planted with drought-tolerant rootstocks and a diverse array of Mediterranean and Iberian varieties, including Fiano, Vermentino, Nero d'Avola, and Tempranillo.

22 Degree Halo
22 Degree Halo is a collaborative project by Ricca Terra that blends traditional and alternative grape varieties from the Riverland. Inspired by the visual moon ring, a 22-degree halo, the brand symbolizes preparedness for climatic changes. The wines combine European-origin varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon with climate-adaptive grapes such as Nero d'Avola and Lambrusco. These 'stepping stone' wines aim to introduce consumers to the versatility of these varieties in Australia's warm climate.

The estate-grown vineyard focuses on hand-pruned, hand-harvested, and handmade wines that are vegan-friendly.
