Riposte "The Foil" Sauvignon Blanc 2020
THE WINE
The 2020 vintage was superb for Piccadilly Valley Sauvignon Blanc.
The 2020 ‘The Foil’ shows vibrancy and depth with elegant passionfruit and floral notes.
A long driving palate of intense fruit tapers cleanly to a crisp, finely balanced conclusion.
VITICULTURE
Batches of fruit are selected from two premium high altitude Adelaide Hills vineyards at Carey Gully and Piccadilly with each separately vinified.
