- Plump tannins
"Full, deep purple, even colour throughout. Vibrant, fine, persistent bead. The nose is full and savoury, with blackberry, plum, dark cocoa and spice. Full-bodied, ripe blackberry and dark plum entwined with dark cocoa, black pepper and nutmeg. The mouse is creamy and vibrant, enlivens the rich palate. Smooth, dusty tannins provide substance and texture, linger to a dry, broody finish. Match with smoke chorizo and Mexican black beans over the next 3 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jul 2023
The Knappstein Sparkling Shiraz offers ripe fruit, with soft plump tannins, and a dry finish. Concentration of fruit balances with savoury spice and earthy notes, while waiting for the refreshing hit from the bubbles as they tantalise the palate, leaving a cleansing sensation.
The fruit is sourced from our Northern Clare Valley vineyards, where warm days and cool nights are perfect for ripening full fruit flavours with elegant acid.
