THE WINE
The Dagger is a rich fresh earlier drinking wine with all the trademark Pinot
aromas and flavours. Drink when young while the edge is keen.
THE LABEL
The dictionary definition of ‘Riposte’ (pronounced rip-posst) is comeback, reply,
retort, or in the context of the sport of fencing a quick counter stroke. After over
a decade of confusion about his name ‘Riposte’ was chosen as an appropriate
name for a ‘comeback label’ by Tim Knappstein.
THE SWORD NAME – ‘Dagger’ A short knifelike weapon with pointed doubleedged
blade. It was worn primarily for self protection but some types with long
hand guards were used while sword fighting. These were held in the left hand
while a sword was wielded with the right.
