Producer Information

Knappstein is one of the biggest names in the Clare Valley, perhaps Australia's most enigmatic wine region. Home to both full-bodied rich reds and lean, lemony Riesling, Clare's split personality takes on a bit of Bordeaux, a bit of Alsace and a dash of the Rhone - all with a distinctive Aussie accent. Paul Smith is the man in charge at Knappstein and having learnt his trade with men such as Brian Croser and Jeffrey Grosset, is a paid up member of the Clare Valley Appreciation Society. In his first vintage, he released a new Single Vineyard Riesling that carried off the Gold Medal at the Clare Valley Wine Show and he hasn't looked back since, collecting medals and trophies at competitions around the world. A talented brewer in his spare time too, Paul also makes a stunning boutique lager.
