The Cutlass Adelaide Hills Shiraz

Riposte The Cutlass Adelaide Hills Shiraz draws from a single site near Lobethal. Perched at 480 metres altitude, it is one of the highest Shiraz vineyards in the Adelaide Hills.

The grapes are fermented in two batches. The first is half crushed fruit, half whole bunches, producing a structured style of wine; the second is half crushed fruit, half whole berries, which lends softness and texture.

Both batches mature separately in new and seasoned French oak before barrel selection, blending and bottling.

Deep crimson, Riposte The Cutlass Adelaide Hills Shiraz has red berry and dark plum flavours with whole bunch spice and toasty oak. Cellaring potential is seven years.
