Riposte The Katana Chardonnay 2024

Riposte The Katana Chardonnay 2024 is a fresh, modern take on Chardonnay that showcases the cool-climate elegance of Adelaide Hills with just a subtle touch of oak. It balances precision and texture beautifully, making it a stylish and food-friendly white wine with a distinctly polished feel.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a pale golden colour with green highlights. The nose is bright and inviting, offering citrus, green apple and white peach, woven together with delicate notes of toasted nuts and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and well-balanced, with crisp acidity carrying a soft, creamy texture. A fine mineral thread gives the finish clarity and length, while the restrained oak adds shape without dominating the fruit. This is a Chardonnay designed for freshness and immediate appeal, though it should continue to drink well over the next few years.

Production
Riposte The Katana Chardonnay comes from South Australia, drawing on the cool, elevated conditions of Adelaide Hills to preserve natural freshness and aromatic detail. The grapes are harvested to retain acidity and purity, then vinified with careful oak handling to add gentle complexity rather than overt wood influence.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay is a natural match for seafood, creamy fish dishes, and chicken served with light sauces. It is best enjoyed chilled at 9–11 °C, and decanting is not necessary; simply open and serve to appreciate its freshness and balance.
