KnappsteinClareValleyShirazSouthAustralia Description: Ripe berry fruit with a spicy peppery note. A silky texture. Fine natural tannins. Very enjoyable drinking now, or cellar for up to ten years.ClareValleyShiraz is a regional speciality. Early in the 1980's our shiraz vines were grafted over to other more commercially viable varieties. The wheel has turned full circle and we have 'ungrafted' the chardonnay. The vines have reverted to original root stock, and we're in the exciting position of soon to have thirty-year old shiraz vines which in future vintages will be used for our KnappsteinShiraz. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £56.55

Knappstein ENTERPRISE ShirazClareValleySouthAustralia Description: A blockbuster ClareValley powerhouse... a mass of dense and concentrated ripe shiraz fruit The Enterprise Wines are extremely limited in supply. The Enterprise name celebrates our Winery building, constructed in 1870 as the Enterprise Brewery, as well as the original name of our label founded in the early 1970's. We do not necessarily release an Enterprise Shiraz every vintage. Introduced less than three years ago, our Enterprise wines represent the best parcels of fruit from our Clare Vineyards, and benefit with extended barrel and bottle maturation prior to release.

Knappstein Cabernet Merlot ClareValleySouthAustralia Description: Subtle and soft, with sweet fruit this is a medium bodied dry red. It is one of the few wines we make which includes fruit from outside the ClareValley; this has an Adelaide Hills component. As part of our ongoing quality enhancement program we now hand-prune the ClareKnappstein vineyards from which we source the fruit for this immensely popular wine. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £59.57
Knappstein Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ClareValleySouthAustralia Description: Tasting Note A classic Clare Cabernet with concentrated full-bodied mulberry and blackberry fruit, deep chocolaty vanilla oak and smooth, juicy tannins all lifted by some tell-tale Aussie eucalyptus character. 14.5% Knappstein have been making this flagship Single Vineyard wine since 1974, and it is nearing its 30th birthday with a cracking 2003 vintage. Planted back in 1979, the Enterprise Vineyard is located on a warm site in the ClareValley over iron-rich limestone soils and every year produces fabulous, concentrated grapes with bags of flavour. Big and bold, the wine spends two years in new oak to add further power and luxury to the palate and ensure it keeps its place in the pantheon of great Aussie reds. The man at the helm Knappstein, Paul Smith, learnt his trade working with luminaries such as Brian Croser and Jeffrey Grosset. A paid up member of the ClareValley Appreciation Society, Paul showed he had the midas touch by releasing the Single Vineyard Watervale Riesling in his first vintage in charge in 2004, which carried off the Gold Medal at the ClareValley Wine Show. With three vintages now under his belt, Paul's influence can be seen across the range and quality and consistency have never been higher. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £101.76
