Wine Summary Image

VITICULTURE

2024 was a cool but sunny vintage which was much earlier than 2023 because of the light crops resulting from bad weather at flowering which caused a poor fruit set. While quantity was down quality was up, with the fruit showing excellent concentration of colour and flavour. As usual, the 2024 Dagger is made up of four clones – MV6,777,114 and 115 from vineyards at Gumeracha, Forreston and Lobethal. More clones equals more complexity.

WINEMAKING

Harvested in the cool of night and early morning, pristine destemmed fruit is tipped directly into fermenters without crushing to give a high percentage of whole berries. The fermenters are gently pumped over twice a day to keep the skins wet and promote gentle tannin extraction. After pressing the wine is kept in stainless steel tanks prior to blending to preserve freshness and vibrancy.

Expert Reviews

There's impressive concentration and density of flavor, but it's never at the expense of balance or elegance. This is so good! It's the best Dagger yet for Riposte. - 94 Points - Robert Parkers Wine Advocate

Sweetly ripe and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows dark cherry, olive, clove and toasted nut aromas with a lovely floral overtone. It's pristine and juicy in the mouth with finely flowing mouthfeel and layers of polished tannins, making it structured and silky at once. Beautifully composed and fabulously drinkable.At its best: now to 2031. 93 Points - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Winery Tasting Notes

The essence of youthful, vibrant Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir from carefully selected vineyards. A bouquet of seductive black cherry overlaid with exotic spices leads to a palate of supple fresh berries, bright acidity and lingering fine grained tannin.

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
