2023 Enterprise Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Growing Conditions

A cooler and wetter than average season due to an extended La Nina pattern provided a challenging growing season for all, yet the best vineyards still shone through. With the cooler conditions in Spring, budburst was delayed considerably, combined with substantial rain this proved challenging for many growers and required a change in tactics over the growing season. Good vineyard management saw the Knappstein Vineyards picked starting in early March, with the last grapes harvested in the middle of April.

Vineyard

The Enterprise Vineyard was planted in 1969 and is located at the northern end of the Clare Valley. The 52 year old vines grow on red loam soils and produce distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon renowned for its depth of flavour, elegance and fine-grained tannins. The Enterprise Cabernet Sauvignon has been a single vineyard since 1974.
