Tasting Notes
The Riposte Dagger Pinot Noir from the Adelaide Hills opens with an inviting bouquet of red cherries, dried rose petals, and a whisper of forest floor earthiness. On the palate, it delivers a silky, medium-bodied experience with bright acidity and fine-grained tannins that give it a graceful, almost ethereal structure. Flavours of sour cherry, pomegranate, and a hint of five-spice meld seamlessly with subtle undergrowth and a touch of toasty oak from careful barrel maturation. The wine has a sense of precision and tension that is characteristic of the cool-climate Adelaide Hills terroir — poised, expressive, and genuinely elegant.
