RIKARD EXPERIENCES

Book Now

RIKARD Wine Tasting experiences are available Saturdays & Sundays 11am – 5pm. Book ahead online via the button above.

Our tasting experiences are an opportunity to taste our wines in bottle, barrel and tank guided by the makers of the wine, in the place where it’s made. A unique, educative experience in cool climate wines of complexity, texture and soul.

Our wine experiences are held at our winery – 279 Old Canobolas Road, Nashdale (allow 12 minutes drive from the centre of Orange), you’ll see our sign at the bottom of the driveway.

OUR WINEMAKING

Our winemaking philosophy is all about highlighting 5 key attributes in a wine – flavour, complexity, balance, texture and length.

Gentle handling is the key. We minimise intervention with the wine in the winery as much as possible. We employ traditional techniques to guide a wine to best express the inherent attributes contained in the grapes. Year to year these attributes will differ and tell the story of each variety, vintage and vineyard site and this is something we embrace.

We like picking at a range of times and ripenesses, using wild yeast, whole bunch inclusion, pre and post fermentation maceration. We lees-stir barrels and don’t fine or filter finished wines.

It’s all about creating a wide range of components from which the best wine possible can be built – layering with flavour and complexity.
