RIPOSTE BY TIM KNAPPSTEIN The Katana Chardonnay, Adelaide Hills

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.

Handpicked and sorted. Gently wholebunch pressed. Wild ferment on full solids. 25% in old French barriques Lees stirred fortnightly. Natural sediment may occur.

Handpicked and chilled for 16 hours before whole bunch press. Gently pressed directly to old French oak. Slow ferment 10 -12 days and kept on full solids for the life of the wine. Post fermentation, barrels were stirred weekly for 8 weeks. 6 months on full solids before bottling in October.

Paracombe Pinot Gris shows lifted aromas, good flavour definition and balance. An attractive bouquet of pear and rose petal is joined by flavours of fresh nectarine, melon, honeyed pear, and flinty notes. Enjoy with antipasto.

Born from idyllic vineyards and crafted with passion; our wines embrace the good life. Our Pinot Grigio boasts Beurré Bosc pear and Pink Lady apples meeting chalky minerality.
