“I have known Tim Knappstein for longer than I care to mention. He is a pioneer and inspiration, he is one of a group of Aussie titans who have helped shape my understanding, admiration and intense enjoyment of fine Aussie wine over the last four decades.”

“Few people know the Adelaide Hills like Tim Knappstein and naturally, this shows in his wines. Match that with a cracking vintage and wines like this are as close to can’t-miss as you could wish.”
