The Cool Customer
Tim Knappstein is one of the wine industry’s great survivors. He started out in the Clare Valley in the late 1960s where his uncle Mick Knappstein was a winemaking legend at the Stanley Wine Company. After serving his ‘apprenticeship’ there Tim started his own company Tim Knappstein Enterprise Wines, in the old Enterprise brewery in Clare which he converted into a winery. It still bears his name today although he hasn’t owned it for many years.
