This is the flagship wine of the stable, made largely from 100 year-old Shiraz vines in the Clare Valley. The Aberfeldy label has long been synonymous with quality, representing Tim Adams best wine. Year after year, this wine continues to deliver the best that Clare Valley Shiraz has to offer. Picked at optimum maturity and following fermentation on skins for 14 days, the wine rested in new, carefully selected American oak hogsheads for 24 months before blending, fining and bottling. The wine has been sealed with a WAK closure, an internally threaded screw cap with a traditional look, and is worthy of keeping for up to 20 years in good conditions.

Inspired by those delectable, food friendly blends from the south of France we have crafted a fresh and aromatic GSM that greets the drinker with savoury earthy aromas and succulent strawberries followed by hints of rosehip and fresh herbs. The true craft of the winemaker is the intricate art of blending. This wine is a prime expression of that artistic talent; the weaving together of various elements to enhance and complement each other resulting in a finished product far greater than the individual components. A cracker wine, fresh and juicy possessing crunchy tannins and savoury fresh mushroom character. The mid palate is full of floral red-currant fruit, with some choc-mint and fresh leather on the finish. This wine is unfiltered and matured for 10 months in older oak to preserve maximum primary fruit lift and intensity. An accessible wine of surprising length and complexity totally slurpable (yes it IS a word).

Knappstein Shiraz displays rich, ripe, plum and berry flavours with fine velvety tannins. Medium term cellaring will be rewarded.

Made with Nero D'Avola, the Premium red grape of Sicily, grown in our Piccadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills Vineyard and produced in hand made terracotta Amphorae used centuries ago
