The 2023 vintage release or Riposte Wines 'The Dagger' Pinot Noir is a quintessentially youthful, vibrant Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir. With 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.
"Pristine and elegantly expressed, the inviting bouquet shows red cherry, strawberry and fragrant spice aromas with a delicate floral overtone. It’s equally appealing in the mouth with finely flowing mouthfeel backed by beautifully infused tannins, finishing long and pleasingly dry. At its best: now to 2030."
93 Points - Sam King, Wine Orbit
"Sourced from the Gumeracha and Lobethal districts, this pours without pretension, light ruby in the glass, cherry fruit and tree-wood fragrance to get you interested. Then pure and straight Pinot flavour profiling with a little anise to add some spice. Bright and perky in the finish, with enough lingering Pinot forest-like earthiness to convince you it’s the real deal, even in its “lite” styling.Very drink-easy."

Winery & Vintage Info
2023 was a cool and late vintage, fortunately with enough sunny days to develop ripe, intense flavours. The 2023 Dagger is again made up of four clones – MV6,777,114 and 115 from vineyards at Gumeracha and Lobethal. More clones equals more complexity.
Harvested in the cool of night and early morning, pristine de-stemmed 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.
