Description "Surely a contender for value buy of the year.... utterly delicious and should remain so for at least the next six to eight years. The palate exhibiting more chocolate, axle grease and blackberries as it develops in the glass. Terrific stuff. 93pts" (WinePilot). Knappstein is a famous name in the Clare Valley, and the estate has some wonderful mature vineyards to draw upon for its impressive wines.The Knappstein Shiraz is full of brambles, blue and black fruits with a spicy lift. The fruit is grown in their Yertabulti and Provis vineyards, situated at the northern end of the Clare Valley. It's the perfect climate for maturing their premium red grapes. Layers of brooding dark fruits, spice and savoury characters are framed in fine oak. A trio of International Gold medals back up the promise of quality.
The Clare Valley is a popular wine region, home to about 50 wineries and renowned for its cool climate wines, notably Riesling. Some of its most well known wineries include Taylors Wines, Annie’s Lane, Grosset Wines, Jim Barry Wines and Kilikanoon which has won James Halliday’s Winery of the Year in years gone by.
