About Knappstein Enterprise Winery & Brewery

Located in the heart of Clare Valley, Knappstein is housed in the heritage listed Enterprise winery and brewery, established in 1878. It all began with Fanny Filgate, the daughter of enterprising Irishman Edward ‘Paddy’ Gleeson, best known for establishing the township of Clare. Fanny inherited her father’s entrepreneurial streak, opening the Enterprise Brewery in 1878 to satisfy thirsty local miners. As the copper mining industry took off, so did Fanny’s beer sales and she was the proud owner of the brewery for almost three decades. Fanny’s legacy lives on thanks to Knappstein Enterprise Winery & Brewery taking up residence in the original, heritage-listed building, with wines first produced under the Tim Knappstein Enterprise Wines label in 1974. Today, Knappstein’s winemaking team is led by Glenn Barry, who honed his skills in the Clare Valley and as far afield as Sicily, the Okanagan in Canada and Napa. Glenn’s winemaking philosophy reflects his love of fresh wines, with vibrant and pure flavours. Inspired by its rich brewing heritage, Knappstein opened a fully functioning microbrewery in 2006, and released the Knappstein Enterprise Reserve Lager, a premium Bavarian-style beer.
