RIPOSTE BY TIM KNAPPSTEIN The Scimitar Riesling, Clare Valley

Riposte by Tim Knappstein The Scimitar Riesling 2024 (Clare Valley) showcases the region’s signature Riesling style, crafted by third-generation winemaker Tim Knappstein. Sourced from a prized vineyard east of Watervale, this wine highlights exotic lime fruit, lily blossom, and heady floral aromas, with a palate marked by deep lime core, spicy acidity, and a chalky, fairy dust-like finish.

The Heggies vineyard situated in the hills above the Barossa Valley produces tightly structured classic Rieslings which can be appreciated young or cellared to achieve richer, complex flavours.

Sourced and grown in the Adelaide Hills, this is a fine example of how good Chardonnay from this region can be. This is a blend of 3 different cultivars of the Chardonnay grape. Bunch pressed and in part wild fermented. Partial malolactic fermentation imparts further complexity. A beautifully textured and complex wine.

Crisp, tangy and delicate, Mr Riggs Watervale Riesling displays a pale yellow with lime hues. Vibrant bouquet of stone fruit, slate and zesty lime. Fine acidity and great balance, the palate is an explosion of fresh yellow fruit and superb minerality.

Penfolds Maxs Chardonnay is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert, a legend in Penfolds history. Pale straw in colour with green hues, this wine has a very nice textural and creamy palate with a soft line of acid fading ever so slowly to a distant palate horizon.

Made for use as a communion wine, it is suitably soft, sweet and approachable.

A dry, crispy white wine with pear, lemongrass and fresh herb flavours that delight the palate. Chapel Hill Pinot Grigio goes fantastically with food and is downright delicious alongside seafood dishes like salt and pepper squid. Jump on the Pinot Grigio bandwagon and enjoy the ride!
