Ricca Terra Colour of Calmness Rosé 2025 from the Riverland is a beautifully pale, Mediterranean‑inspired blend of Nero d’Avola, Sangiovese and Graciano that feels like summer in a glass – bright, textural and genuinely refreshing. The nose is all fresh strawberry, blood orange zest and watermelon, with hints of cherry, rose petal and dried Mediterranean thyme wafting out of the glass. On the palate, Ricca Terra Colour of Calmness Rose 2025 is crisp and dry, with crunchy red fruits, a whisper of tropical mango and a savoury, mouth‑watering finish.

This is exactly the sort of rosé that loves a bit of chill and a long, lazy lunch – think grilled prawns, salt‑and‑pepper squid or a watermelon and feta salad. It’s equally at home next to antipasti, charcuterie and soft cheeses, where that bright acidity cuts through salt and cream like a dream. I’d happily pour it with wood‑fired margherita pizza or a simple roast chook and crunchy slaw mid‑week.

What makes Colour of Calmness Rosé 2025 so appealing is how it marries serious viticulture and climate‑savvy Mediterranean varieties with an easy‑breezy, smashable personality. It feels finely crafted but never fussy – just pure, vibrant Riverland rosé that’s built for Adelaide summers, sunset drinks and any occasion where you want something effortlessly delicious in the glass.
