Made by the experienced Tim Knappstein, Riposte's 'The Foil' Sauvignon Blanc consistently underlines the Adelaide Hills reputation as Australia's finest Sauvignon Blanc region.
The 2025 Riposte The Foil Sauvignon Blanc is typically aromatic with plenty of gooseberry, citrus and passionfruit notes. The palate is vibrant and elegant with crisp tropical and citrus flavours supported by a nice mineral edge. Another fine example of Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc from this much loved label.
"94 Points. Sauvignon Blanc is the enduring pop star of Adelaide Hills white wines, its hook well and truly driven by wild and exotic aromas, here in tell all themes of passionfruit, a brush of tomato bush, a waft of boronia and daphne florals – all not shy in coming forward in expressing the variety’s calling-card attractions. The palate follows much the same script in terms of aromatic flavours with a mouth-watering splash of lime juice acidity and fine pithiness. It’s refreshing, zesty, and hits the savvy brief with a fair bit of swagger. $24"- Tony Love, winepilot.com.
