NEW RELEASE: 2024 RIKARD MALBEC. 🍷
Introducing our first ever single-varietal Malbec.

Our orange labelled blend allows us the opportunity to showcase the varietal diversity that the Orange wine region can produce.
An ever changing and evolving blend, each year we have the luxury... of choosing our own combination of traditional Bordeaux varieties according to what the season best produces.

Each variety brings its own strengths to the blend and the challenge is to marry them together harmoniously and produce the most complete wine possible.

For the first time since 2018, our orange label blend isn’t a blend! It’s a single varietal wine - 100% Malbec.
The fruit was hand harvested from the Kywarra vineyard at 860m above sea level and is the best parcel of grapes we’ve seen from this site.
So much so that we felt it deserved its own bottling!

Made with minimal intervention in the winery, we’ve given this wine ample time to come together with 18 months in French oak barriques and a further 4 months in tank.

The 2024 RIKARD Malbec is elegant and true to its roots and will age beautifully. A very promising variety for the region and one that we’re becoming very endeared with!

Available now to buy online, at the Cellar Door and releasing locally to have when you dine at @lucettadining @summerstwineroom @fiorinis.orange

A lost vine.
Found this little Chardonnay clone 96 vine popping its head up in our nursery vineyard. We'll plant it & give it a chance to fulfil its potential as a part of the Chardonnay team.

Vintage 2026 @ RIKARD: Last press of the year!
2026 Amboseli Shiraz pressed and showing incredible colour after three weeks on skins. It wraps up what has been one the great vintages.

Is this the end of harvest? Well, no. At RIKARD we consider it done when the last red goes to ...barrel...

That will be late this week! But it’s the last time we have to clean the press for a while... and that’s worth celebrating 🍾🍷

Final pick of vintage 2026 @ RIKARD: Syrah! 🍷
We are adamant at RIKARD that the quality of our wines is a direct result of the quality of our work in our vineyards.
Today we brought the final parcel of 2026 vintage fruit into the winery - our single vineyard Amboseli Syrah - to cap off ...another extremely gratifying and high quality year.
It’s a huge relief to see it in the winery, safe and sound, looking amazing, along with all its other varietal siblings.

Cheers to vintage 2026 and our amazing team! A job well done!
