Riposte The Foil Sauvignon Blanc 2024
$24, 11.5% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
It’s the intensity of the fruit flavours here that really draws you in. This is a punchy – in a good way – Sauvignon Blanc if ever there was one. Passionfruit, cut apple, lemongrass and mango skin character rocket through the palate in the most pleasant, and mouthwatering, of ways. This wine offers both value and quality. 92 points.
