A traditional Clare Valley blend of Shiraz and Malbec made with enjoyment front of mind. A spritely wine that is light on its feet, flaunting its blue black fruits, sinewy tannins and a savoury detail. Drink now. Fun yet elegant, quaffable yet detailed.
The biggest berries were handpicked from our Ackland vineyard. The patch is east facing and only the fruit on the eastern side of the vines was picked to ensure minimal sun exposure to the berries.
Layers of spice and a savoury grilled meat character provide a savoury aspect, with firm sinewy tannin driving the wine through a long and fresh finish. With careful cellaring this wine will reward ageing 15 years plus.
An immediately recognisable Watervale Riesling aromatically, with ripe lemon juice aromas complexed by floral highlights leaping out of the glass. Lively flavours balance with a sense of delicacy in this Riesling.
Aromas of red cherries and strawberries lead into a palate with flavours of bright red currants, raspberry, rose petal, Turkish delight and cinnamon spice. Made from a select parcel of Sangiovese from our northern Clare Valley vineyards, this wine is bursting with vibrancy.
Aromas of freshly cut green apple blend with fennel and vanilla on a complex but restrained nose. The palate bursts with flavours of lime juice and white blossoms. With careful cellaring this wine will reward ageing for up to 10 years.
The 2016 Knappstein Shiraz displays typical Clare Valley style and texture. The perfumed nose reveals an array of red cherries and purple fruit mixed with exotic spices and a touch of forest-floor earthiness. Vibrant red berries, blackberries and spices layer the palate.
Sweet red berries and darker fruit aromas lead into pure, dark blackberry flavours in the Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with a structural savoury element.
A fresh and enticing aroma of quince, ruby red grapefruit, pear and rose petals translates directly to the palate. Freshness and vibrancy of this Pinot Gris highlight its easy-drinking style.
