The grape variety Gewürztraminer has been shortened to ’Traminer for ease of pronunciation. 2010 'The Rapier' 'Traminer
Fresh rosewater and slices of ginger parry subtly with undertones of lychee and blossom. The Rapier scythes across the palate balancing lifted floral fruit with a finish of piercing acidity. A stunning drink on release that can benefit from being locked in the armoury for up to five years.
A perfect ally to fresh spicy Asian dishes with chilli and ginger.
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 – ‘The Rapier’ is a long narrow two edge mid-weight sword used in fencing.
