Expert Reviews

Beautifully fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows white flesh nectarine, green rockmelon, lemon pith and sweet basil aromas, followed by a succulent palate that is elegantly weighted and vibrant. The wine offers pristine fruit intensity together with fine texture and refreshing acidity, leading to a lingering tasty finish. At its best: now to 2022 Reviewed: March 2019 92 points, 4.5 stars SAM KIM (WINE ORBIT) - THE FOIL SAUVIGNON BLANC 2018

Winery Tasting Notes

Shows fruit on the offensive, thrusts of snowpea and lifted passionfruit combined with a mineral edge. An elegant palate of intense fruit tapers cleanly on the palate to a crisp, finely honed conclusion of piercing acidity.

Enjoy while young and fresh.

Winery Profile

It’s never too late to teach an old dog new tricks when the old dog in question is Tim Knappstein. With 40 years of winemaking and more than 500 wine show awards under his belt, Tim started yet another new wine life with Riposte, a subtle response to the various vicissitudes he has suffered in recent years. While having no continuing financial interest in Lenswood Vineyards,established many years ago,Tim is able to source grapes from it and also makes selections from other prime sites in surrounding areas. Exports to the UK, Canada, Holland, Singapore, Malaysia and China. James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion
