Riposte Wines The Dagger Pinot Noir 2023 Adelaide Hills (6 Bottles)

by Wines By Cellars

$154.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

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.

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.

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.
