Bella Riva are a family of wines in the European tradition that are delicious with food. Bella Riva delivers stylish, mouthfilling wines with robust flavours, crafted from fruit grown to the Bellariva vineyard at King River near the base of the Victorian snowfields. Vines are planted to sandstone and shale deposits which have been carried down over time by the river. Fruit is harvested at complete ripeness, exhibiting balanced levels of alcohol and acidity. Grapes are hand picked and vinified in large static fermenters for up to a fortnight. Components are pressed, settled and transferred to a selection of well seasoned oak casks for a term of maturation. A component is left unoaked to retain freshness. Alcohol 14.0%
