Selected from a single vineyard at Kuitpo. A northerly facing slope provides the warmth to produce lifted stone fruit and tropical fruit flavours while the cool nights maintain the elegance and mineral acid backbone which gives ageing ability and life to the wine. This Chardonnay exhibits fresh and bright with complex aromas of white rose, melon and cashew. Impeccably balanced with a creamy texture and an acid structure reminiscent of lemon sorbet. The finish is long and dry and a perfect accompaniment to your favourite seafood dish.

RIPOSTE BY TIM KNAPPSTEIN The Katana Chardonnay, Adelaide Hills

Slices of citrus and floral notes abound on the nose of the 2019 Scimitar Single Vineyard Clare Valley Riesling complimenting a palate of lingering fresh lime and lemon flavours and finely balanced acid.

The 2018 Katana Chardonnay reveals a supple core of white stone fruit and citrus blossom overlaid with tempered edges of minerality. On the palate bright varietal fruit is guided to the finish with nuances of French oak and crisp acidity.

Classic white peach and nectarine with hints of citrus, nougat and flint on the nose. A creamy, complex palate with a long acidity line giving the palate breadth and depth. Juicy white peach and citrus characters add freshness while subtle oak and lees ageing add density and interest

Aromas of lemon, grapefruit juice, brown lime and white flowers combine with a lick of mineral and wet slate on the nose. The palate is refreshing, with flavours of grapefruit and citrus rind with a white floral lift. The fruit weight shows the hallmarks of Watervale Riesling with zesty acidity, that gives line but still allows a sense of generosity.

Some producers are one-hit wonders, and some are as versatile as the day is long. Kirrihill is in the latter camp, with great wines from shiraz, to cabernet, malbec to mataro. But of course, we wouldn’t be talking highlights if we weren’t talking riesling, and ‘The Settler’ is precisely that. From the WSS vineyard in Watervale - prized for its unique soils- this is an equally enjoyable wine right off the bottling line, as it is ten years down the track.
