1 x Knappstein Clare Valley Sparkling Shiraz NV (Australia)
Awarded Gold Medal & 93/100 Points: Catavinum World Wine & Spirit Competition 2023
Awarded 93/100 Points & 5 Stars: Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jul 2023
"Full, deep purple, even colour throughout. Vibrant, fine, persistent bead. The nose is full and savoury, with blackberry, plum, dark cocoa and spice. Full-bodied, ripe blackberry and dark plum entwined with dark cocoa, black pepper and nutmeg. The mouse is creamy and vibrant, enlivens the rich palate. Smooth, dusty tannins provide substance and texture, linger to a dry, broody finish. Match with smoke chorizo and Mexican black beans over the next 3 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jul 2023
The Knappstein Sparkling Shiraz offers ripe fruit, with soft plump tannins, and a dry finish. Concentration of fruit balances with savoury spice and earthy notes, while waiting for the refreshing hit from the bubbles as they tantalise the palate, leaving a cleansing sensation.

"Surely a contender for value buy of the year. Indeed, the range of four reds released here is definitely odds on for best buying collection of the year. Maroon purple, this is a brooding, deep red with aromas of plums, chocolate, cigar boxes, dry herbs and raspberries – the black fruits kick in much more on the palate. There is good density, but the wine retains its freshness. Very fine tannins and a lingering finish, this is utterly delicious and should remain so for at least the next six to eight years. The palate exhibits more chocolate, axle grease and blackberries. Terrific stuff" Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot, Jan 2023
The 2021 Shiraz is full of brambles and blue/black fruits with a spicy lift. Layers of brooding dark fruits, spice and savoury characters are framed in fine oak. The sinewy tannin profile pulls the wine through to a long and moreish finish.

1 x Knappstein Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 (Australia)
Awarded 96/100 Points: Winestate Magazine, May 2022
Awarded 92/100 Points: James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com, Nov 2022
Awarded 92/100 Points & 4.5 Stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2022
"Varietally expressive and beautifully fragrant with blackcurrant, sweet cherry, green olive and roasted nut aromas, it's succulent and finely textured in the mouth displaying ripe fruit intensity backed by polished tannins. Beautifully balanced and elegant with a persistent finish. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2022
"Aromatically it’s already quite developed with blackberry, amarena cherry, dried thyme and laurier aromas. The self-confidently dry finish should soften nicely with some more bottle age. Drinkable now, but best from 2024" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com, Nov 2022
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of juicy blackcurrants, dark chocolate and mint, accented by savoury notes of tobacco leaf. The palate is elegantly structured with classic flavours of chocolate and bay leaf, flowing through to ripe blackberries and fresh thyme to finish.
Alc: 14%
1 x Knappstein Clare Valley Riesling 2024 (Australia)
The 2024 Riesling has both elegance and intensity, with true Knappstein traits of lime, spice and white florals on the nose and a generously flavoured palate. Lively acid, mineral texture and a powerful and persistent lemon finish.
Alc: 12%

Awarded Gold Medal: London Wine Competition 2022
Awarded 98/100 Points: World's Greatest Shiraz/Syrah XVI Wine Show, Winestate Magazine, Aug 2021

Awarded 95/100 Points: Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, Jun 2021
Another strong class with the 19's offering more consistency and the older wines mixed. The best was Knappstein 2019 The Mayors Vineyards Clare Valley Shiraz. Great to see this famous name being revived to its former glory" World's Greatest Shiraz/Syrah XVI Wine Show, Winestate Magazine, Aug 2021
"This is terrific; the perfumed bouquet shows black/blueberry, floral, vanilla, cedar and fragrant spice aromas, leading to a powerful palate displaying outstanding concentration and depth. It's plush and velvety with layers of delicious flavours. At its best: 2023 to 2039" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2021
"From a Clare Valley vineyard planted in 1969. Fruit-filled and fruit-forward. Luscious plum, blackberry, coffee-cream and mint flavours. Bold of body and of intent. There’s a reasonable kick of tannin here too, lending it shape, but the fruit sweeps straight on through it. Full marks for volume" Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, Jun 2021
Aromas of blue berry, perfume and spice concentrate the nose, with elegant floral undertones providing lift. The palate is long and full of flavour, with a tight tannin profile and framework for the fruit to extend. Excellent tension and precise use of oak will see this wine age amongst the best in its class.

"An intense crimson hued wine that is very youthful with many heard ahead of it yet. It exhibits great depth, concentration and vibrancy of varietal fruit richness" Cabernet Sauvignon & Bordeaux Blend Challenge, Winestate Magazine, Jun 2021
"Well. This is a beauty. So much fruit, tannin and oak but in such overall balance. Blackcurrant and toast, peppermint cream and dried herbs, chocolate. Swoosh. It’s big, it’s creamy and it’s tannic but it has energy. Bowled me over a bit, this one. Belter of a Clare Valley cabernet" Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, Jun 2021
"Fruit from the Enterprise vineyard in Spring Farm at 475m elevation. Whole-berry ferment, matured for 15 months in French oak hogshead (20% new). Cassis, salted licorice, cigar box, dark chocolate and blood plums. The nose and the palate are perfectly aligned in this classical, savoury and structural cabernet" Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion, Jan 2022
The 2019 Enterprise Cabernet has a fragrant nose of red fruit, olive leaf and spice. This is a classic Enterprise Cabernet in its typical medium bodied style that will continue to develop. Knappstein’s single vineyard wines explore the full potential and individual nuances of our unique sites, producing wines with finesse and beauty.
