Overview
The Knappstein Clare Valley Shiraz is an exceptional wine that captures the essence of the Clare Valley’s ideal climate. Sourced from the Yertabulti and Provis vineyards, this Shiraz benefits from a long, dry growing season that leads to optimum flavour and tannin development. With a growing season marked by above-average temperatures, the wine boasts excellent quality and depth. This Shiraz showcases the signature intensity and complexity of Clare Valley Shiraz, with a beautifully structured palate and a long-lasting finish.
Tasting Notes
The Shiraz is rich and expressive, with an initial burst of brambles and dark blue and black fruits. Layers of brooding dark fruit, peppery spice, and savoury notes unfold on the palate, framed by fine oak that adds depth and complexity. The sinewy tannins pull the wine through to a long, moreish finish, providing a satisfying and lingering experience. The wine’s harmonious balance of fruit, spice, and oak makes it a truly captivating and enjoyable Shiraz, perfect for both immediate enjoyment and further ageing.
