Made by highly lauded winemaker Tim Knappstein, the Riposte wines have been in super recent form, consistently delivering approachable and flavoursome examples of the hero varietals of the Adelaide Hills.
This 2024 Riposte The Stiletto Pinot Gris is another vibrant expression of Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris, which is sure to have widespread appeal. Loads of nashi pear, apple and citrus flavours are delivered on the palate, supported by subtle spice, blossom and crisp acidity. A super value Pinot Gris that will deliver plenty of joy over the next 2 to 3 years.
"92 Points. From the Adelaide Hills, the team usually include some pressings here and ferment part of the free run juice in French oak. A deep straw colour, with the merest hint of grey/pink as often happens with this grape. This is a refined style of Pinot Gris with notes of pears, a hint of florals and peaches and a little touch of crisp, green apples. There is excellent balance and very good persistence, enjoy this any time over the next four years. This is always an impressive example of what Pinot Gris can achieve, and this latest release is no different. Drink 2024-2028" - Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
