"An intense crimson hued wine that is very youthful with many heard ahead of it yet. It exhibits great depth, concentration and vibrancy of varietal fruit richness" Cabernet Sauvignon & Bordeaux Blend Challenge, Winestate Magazine, Jun 2021

"Well. This is a beauty. So much fruit, tannin and oak but in such overall balance. Blackcurrant and toast, peppermint cream and dried herbs, chocolate. Swoosh. It’s big, it’s creamy and it’s tannic but it has energy. Bowled me over a bit, this one. Belter of a Clare Valley cabernet" Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, Jun 2021

"Fruit from the Enterprise vineyard in Spring Farm at 475m elevation. Whole-berry ferment, matured for 15 months in French oak hogshead (20% new). Cassis, salted licorice, cigar box, dark chocolate and blood plums. The nose and the palate are perfectly aligned in this classical, savoury and structural cabernet" Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion, Jan 2022

The 2019 Enterprise Cabernet has a fragrant nose of red fruit, olive leaf and spice.  This is a classic Enterprise Cabernet in its typical medium bodied style that will continue to develop.  Knappstein’s single vineyard wines explore the full potential and individual nuances of our unique sites, producing wines with finesse and beauty.

The Enterprise Vineyard was planted in 1969 and is located at the northern end of the Clare Valley. The 52 year old vines grow on red loam soils and produce distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon renowned for its depth of flavour, elegance and fine-grained tannins. The Enterprise Cabernet Sauvignon has been a single vineyard since 1974.

2019 Vintage produced fabulous wines with generous flavours, good mid palate fruit weight, lovely natural acidity and considerable depth and complexity.
