Knappstein Shiraz

Knappstein Shiraz from Clare Valley, South Australia, offers a classic Australian red with bright red and dark fruit, framed by peppery spice and subtle oak. Medium- to full-bodied, it shows refined tannins and balanced acidity, making it approachable now with good aging potential. Ideal with grilled lamb, ribeye, smoky sausages, and rich pasta dishes. Tasting notes - Nose: Black cherry, blackberry, and plum mingle with black pepper, cloves, and a touch of vanilla oak. - Palate: Rich dark fruit front, integrated spice notes, cocoa hints, and smooth, structured tannins; bright acidity keeps it balanced. - Finish: Long, spicy finish with fruit persistence and a subtle oak echo.
