With Glen Barry at the Knappstein helm the wines really seem to have regained some composure of late, back to the generous, regional styles of yore.
This is direct and limey, unequivocal and pure – an utterly intense Clare style, with no shortage of fruit or acidity. Not profound but good lime and acid style. Perhaps a tad forward but still lots to like.
