"Ricca Terra craft wines that feel quite alive in the glass, perhaps due to their deep agricultural understanding and farming practices. I could be romanticising, but this wine is a living thing. Soft leather, aniseed rings, fresh fig and dry earth. Dark chocolate and blood plum. The tannins have a lateral extension within, beyond the spine of the drink, leaf vein-like. For its close-to-earth rusticity, it certainly polishes up and carries an elegant composition further endorsed by impeccable balance." KB - Halliday Wine Companion.

As well as being included in Halliday's Top 100 Wines of 2025 and Top 50 Reds under $50,Bullets Before Cannonballswas named in Nick Ryan's Top 100 in The Australian Weekend Magazine.

This is what Nick had to say, "Some day there will be a giant statue of Ash Ratcliff astride the Murray River like the Colossus of Rhodes. Ratcliff has done a power of work to point a way forward for SA's Riverland and its wines, and this juicy red bargain neatly encapsulates his philosophy. A blend of tempranillo, lambrusco, shiraz and lagrein, it brings together the old and the new, the established and the emergent, into a compelling illustration of what the contemporary Riverland can be."
