Oria-Riff Wines La Petite Soif 2024

Kaurna Country

All grenache, all McLaren Vale, all for easy drinking, and yet there’s more under the hood here. This comes from White Valley locale, for the vineyard, but is farmed by Cooper of Oria-Riff. While leaning into a thirst-quenching, easy drinking style, there’s way more on here.

It’s sloshy and yet fine tuned with a grip and pucker. Lusher, red cherry, raspberry fruits meet a touch of black tea, some choc-mint notes and a lick of cardamom spice. Softness, and brightness, hand-in-hand, with a lingering, supple finish that feels right on for an early drinking, chillable, come-hither red. And yet perfume, fine tannin chew and savoury elements conspire to elevate the wine. In. - The Wine Front
