Wine Summary Image

VITICULTURE

The grapes are all from the Kenton Creek vineyard owned by Abby and Ashley Barratt and are all Chardonnay I10V1 clone. T he 2024 season was one of very low crops caused by poor fruit set due to cold, windy and we weather during flowering. Although many crops were 60% below average, cool and sunny weather during the critical ripening period gave us fully ripe Chardonnay with excellent fruit flavours and concentration.

WINEMAKING

The fruit was picked at night, using a destemmer harvester which delivers a large proportion of clean, unbroken berries. It was not crushed but then tipped directly into the press. T he juice was rough settled overnight and transferred to French oak barriques (25% new) where it was fermented, 50% with wild yeasts. After malolactic fermentation to increase complexity and texture, the wine remained on its yeast lees until blended and bottled in November 2024.

Expert Reviews

Beautifully poised and stylish, the wine shows ripe nectarine, rockmelon, lemon pith, and subtle vanilla notes on the nose with a hint of flinty complexity. It's finely flowing in the mouth, delivering a delicate texture and fine acidity, leading to a splendidly long, linear finish. Wonderfully composed and structured with finesse and elegance. At its best: 2026 to 2032.- 94 Points, 5 Stars, Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

The essence of a unique Adelaide Hills Chardonnay vineyard in Kenton Valley. Partial wild yeast fermentation in French oak barriques creates a complex background of minerality overlayed by a bright fruit core of lemon curd and white nectarine. Elegant, complex, refined.

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
