Fanny Filgate was an entrepreneurial businesswomen, and the eldest daughter of the founding father of the Clare township - Edward Burton Gleeson (Paddy Gleeson). Its purpose was to satisfy the thirst of local miners in South Australia. As the copper mining industry took off, so did Fanny's beer sales.
Steeped in history and synonymous with the Clare Valley in South Australia, the Knappstein Enterprise Winery has enjoyed a long and revered reputation as a maker of premium wines since it was established by Tim Knappstein in 1976. Since those pioneering days, the winemaking focus has always remained to showcase the quality of fruit from the individual soils and climates of the local vineyards.
We've designed our wine club to suit all types of wine drinkers for all types of budgets and changing lifestyles. A regional selection offering wines that are to be enjoyed now with friends at anytime of the year. Enjoy 25% discount and we give you the freedom to select the wines you would like delivered.
Knappstein works hard to ensure we achieve minimal impact on its surrounds whilst supporting sustainable practices at a viticultural, winery and office level. Extensive undervine mulching, the use of livestock for winter weed control, and the introduction of biological fungicides significantly reduces Knappstein's environmental footprint.
The Knappstein winemaking team is dedicated to a 'distinguished vineyards' philosophy. Our pioneering spirit has seen us acquire some of the best vineyards in the Clare Valley, allowing us full management control from pruning to picking and everything in between. Our long-term commitment to these sites has forged the company's reputation as one of Australia's leading premium Riesling wineries.

Nice cellar door and wines. Lovely host very friendly however beware of misleading information.
Happy to pay the $10 tasting fee and usually the fee is waived if purchasing wines.
They have their wines listed with the prices which seem quite reasonable, but you have to buy 3 bottles to get the tasting waived. If you only want to buy 1 bottle, instead of the advertised price of $22 they are actually charging you for the tasting, making that bottle $32!!
This is not advertised anywhere in their winery which is not good business and for this reason we did not purchase any wines.
