The 2025 Riposte Stiletto Pinot Gris is a vibrant Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris that strikes a balance between the richness of Pinot Gris and the freshness of Pinot Grigio. The nose is bright and aromatic, revealing ripe pear, green apple and white nectarine, complemented by delicate floral notes, gentle spice and a subtle hint of honey.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, lightly textured mouthfeel and refreshing natural acidity. Flavours of crisp pear, apple and citrus are supported by subtle spice and a fine mineral edge, leading to a clean, dry finish with impressive freshness and length. Partial oak fermentation and lees contact add texture while preserving the wine's vibrant fruit character.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2025 Riposte Stiletto Pinot Gris is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy a more textural Pinot Gris with bright fruit and crisp acidity. It pairs beautifully with grilled kingfish, roast pork, seared scallops, fresh salads or soft goat's cheese. Best enjoyed well chilled over the next 2–4 years while its fresh fruit and lively character are at their best.
