In the heart of Adelaide Hills, among whispering vines, a wine was born - The En Garde Pinot Noir 2023. Not just a wine, it's a testament to resilience, a celebration of heritage and a love affair with winemaking.

Tim Knappstein, linked to South Australia's wine history since 1895, pours his heart and soul into crafting wines that represent their cool climate terroir. The En Garde is not merely a varietal; it's a phoenix rising from the ashes of the devastating 2019 fires. It stands as a symbol of unyielding spirit, embodying hope and perseverance in every grape nurtured back to life.

This vintage represents victory—a triumphant return to full production—each berry handpicked and transformed into an elegant dance of cherry and spice, blossoms and oak.

More than craftsmanship lies the heart of Riposte Wines—a family bond that time cannot break. Tim and his son Nick continue to innovate while staying true to hands-on winemaking. Every stage from vineyard to bottle is filled with dedication to creating outstanding boutique wines.

Pouring The En Garde into your glass means becoming part of the Knappstein legacy. You're not just savouring a fine Pinot Noir but resilience in every drop. You're celebrating hard-won harvests and connecting with a lineage pouring their soul into each barrel.

Here's to The En Garde—more than wine, it's our story in each bottle. A toast to cherished moments and memories yet to be made.
