Last Stocks 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 2023 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. "92 Points. Few people know the Adelaide Hills like Tim Knappstein and naturally, this shows in his wines. Match that with a cracking vintage and wines like this are as close to can’t-miss as you could wish. Pale lemon in colour, this is quite pungently aromatic. A punchy, lifted nose of tropical notes, spices, cut grass and gooseberries. This is no shrinking violet, so if powerfully flavoured Savvy is your thing, get on board. Clean and fresh, this has focus and excellent length. Savvy lovers will be delighted with this wine to enjoy now and for the next couple of years. Drink by: 2023-2025. $24"- Ken Gargett, winepilot.com.
