Riposte Wines The Stiletto Pinot Gris 2024

A less is more kind of Pinot Gris, quite intense and deep.  It’s no shouter but it makes its presence felt. Distinctive pear drop bouquet and spiced apple with background citrus. A serious Adelaide Hills Gris that arrives to the glass fully formed and quite marked in flavour with an underlying racy acid force, not to mention a textural quality that is impressive. Red apple and spice play with the taste buds bringing forth mental pictures of Donald Link’s famous, Cajun-spiced, Post-K meatloaf . . . in other words, it’s a delightful, all-round food partner. Won’t mind a touch of spice, either.
