Reviewed February 2024It's sweet-fruited and fresh – it's a chillable red wine – but it has more shape than you might expect, and lovely (red-berried) fruit too. It's been made for quaffing, but if you're going to do something, do it well, and that's what they've done here. (CM)

The 2023 Juicy June from Ricca Terra might just be the Southern Hemisphere version of Beaujolias Nouveau! The 2023 blend is composed of 53% Grenache, 30% Nero d’Avola, and 12% Black Muscat, all sourced from the sun-drenched Riverland region of South Australia. It is bottled only a few months after harvest, resulting in a wine that is intensely aromatic, refreshing, and yes, juicy. Bursting with notes of candied cherry, ripe raspberry, wild strawberry, and red plum, the wine also shows subtle floral lift and a touch of spice from the Black Muscat component. Light-bodied and silky smooth on the palate, it’s an easy-drinking style of light-bodied red wine that is best enjoyed chilled down. Its lively fruit profile and fresh texture make it an ideal wine for casual gatherings, sunny afternoons, and relaxed outdoor meals. Juicy June pairs beautifully with charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, roast chicken, burgers, or smoky barbecue.
