The 2025 Riposte Katana Chardonnay is a fresh Adelaide Hills white showing lemon, white peach and nectarine with citrus blossom, delicate florals and subtle mineral character.
On the palate, it is bright and finely textured, with lively acidity supporting citrus and stone fruit alongside gentle savoury and creamy notes. The finish is dry, clean and persistent, with a subtle mineral lift.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy fresh, cool-climate Australian whites with fine texture and balanced acidity. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Serve lightly chilled with seared scallops, grilled trout with lemon, roast chicken with tarragon or mushroom and leek risotto.
