Knappstein Enterprise Shiraz 1999

"Fragrant, concentrated aromas of lightly minty blackberries, cassis and assertive, but balanced chocolate/vanilla oak are laced with violets and smoked meats. Long, smooth and creamy, blessed with deeply intense but genuinely ripened dark berries, cherries and plums, offset by creamy chocolate oak and firm, taut tannins. Remarkably supple and elegant. Drink 2007-2011+."  Jeremy Oliver – 95 points

"Excellent, full red-purple; the bouquet offers concentrated, deep plum and black cherry fruit plus a touch of earth; the palate is at once powerful and concentrated, yet classically restrained; skilled use of French oak complemented by well balanced tannins. Best drinking: 2004 to 2014."  James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion - 93 points

"Black cherry flavours. Coffee bean mocha. It's a big, ripe, rich style. There's plenty of oak and fruit to match. It's one of those soft cuddly wines. It's well balanced and attractive to drink. The soft tannins and the flavours work very well here." Ken Gargett, 2003 Sydney International Wine Competition - Blue-Gold Award Winner

"The 1998 is an extremely powerful wine with marvellous fruit complexity.... Not to be outdone, the 1999 is an amazing wine too. Again, the fruit is a delight and the densely packed tannins suggest it will cellar well. It's hard to pick a favourite - in Melbourne there was a single vote between them."  Divine Magazine

We want you to enjoy your wines as soon as possible and endeavour to dispatch orders as quickly as we can. It may take us a little longer during sales or peak trading periods, so kindly keep that in mind if you are purchasing for a special occasion.

Shipping Cost

Delivery is free on any order of 12 or more bottles to Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Sunshine Coast, Wollongong and rural Victoria.

On orders of 12 or more bottles to all other areas, we cover a percentage of the shipping costs. Shipping is calculated at checkout.

For orders of less than 12 bottles Australia wide, shipping is calculated at checkout.

Insurance

All orders are fully insured.

Standard Delivery

We use Australia Post and a Specialist Wine Courier (Anonymous Wine Freight) for domestic deliveries. Your location will determine which of these delivery services will be available.

Couriers will not telephone ahead to notify you of time of delivery and delivery on specific days can not be guaranteed.

While a large number of destinations are serviced within 48 hours or less, please allow up to 14 days for delivery within Australia.

Specialist Wine Delivery Service

We offer a specialist temperature-controlled wine delivery service called Anonymous Wine Freight to deliver your wine if you live close to the CBD in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney or Perth, or live in Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Mornington Peninsula or Geelong. If Anonymous Wine Freight services your postcode, the option to use them will appear on checkout. Here is a link to the list of postcodes they service. 

They are highly recommended as they ship in refrigerated transport to climate-controlled warehouses in each metro area before they make their way to your delivery address in air-conditioned vehicles for the last kilometers. In addition, they will even call you by phone at the time of delivery if they encounter any problems.

Please find their delivery schedule below.

Pick-up

If you live in Melbourne, you can pick up your order from our office in Camberwell by prior arrangement. Please select the 'Pick Up' delivery option during checkout and we will contact you to arrange a suitable time for pick-up once the order has been packed.

What if I won’t be home?

If you may not be home at the time of delivery and would like the wine left in a safe place, please give Authority to Leave (ATL) and any delivery instructions in the 'DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS & ATL' at the bottom of the shopping cart, located just above the CHECKOUT button. 

If you have requested delivery with Australia Post and have not given Authority to Leave, a signature will be required on delivery. If you miss the postman, the order will be taken to your local Post Office for collection.

If you have requested delivery with our specialist wine courier (Anonymous Wine Freight), the driver will phone you for instructions if you are not at home at the time of delivery. If he can't contact you, the order will be taken to their local depot and can be re-delivered subject to a $20.00 fee.

Summer Heat Policy

If during hot weather you would like us to delay dispatch of your order to avoid potential heat damage to your wine please let us know. We are more than happy to store your order in our climate controlled warehouse until the weather is cooler. Please add the request in the 'DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS & ATL' at the bottom of the shopping cart, located just above the CHECKOUT button.

Alternatively, we may email you and request to delay dispatch of your order until the weather is cooler. If this happens, you can of course request immediate delivery if you wish.
