Awards / Reviews
"An honest Clare Valley Shiraz at a good price. Smells of berries and plums, with a minty touch and a seasoning of oak. Medium bodied, with earthy flavours, good intensity and a dry finish. Ageing? Drink over three years. Food ideas: Barbecued spare ribs; stir-fried beef."
Ralph Kyte-Powell, The Age
Named after K.H (Mr Mick) Knappstein, a legend within the Australian Winemaking industry.
Mr Mick’s favourite red variety was without doubt, Shiraz. From his early days working in the vineyards to the end of his amazing career 57 years later, wines made from Clare Valley Shiraz captivated him with their power and elegant synergism. This wine seeks to emulate just that style, elegant and yet dense and flavoursome, gentle enough to sit and taste, and great with food.
WINEMAKER’S COMMENT
This wine has lifted violet and blueberry fruit bouquet with nuances of oak, spice and apricot. It is rounded and full bodied with soft tannins and dark ruby berries.
