The Kinnear was the ship which brought Johann Stein to Australia on 23rd April, 1838, so it is appropriate that this be the name of our flagship wine. The Kinnear is an icon of our family, a symbol of the great hardship and struggle of the past, and a celebration of our lives today. The 2021 Robert Stein 'Kinnear' is just the 7th release of our flagship wine. A blend of Shiraz (93%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (7%) which were selected from the best rows in our best blocks. The fruit was picked by hand and wild fermented in small open vatswith 30% whole berries. The wine was matured for 15onths in 50% French Oak Hogsheads and only the best two barrelswere chosen.

A near perfect growing season produced excellent fruit across all varieties. A cold dry winter followed by a relatively dry summer saw crop levels lower than normal, but the quality of the fruit was high. White and red varieties all performed well, with perfect ripening conditions during harvesting. While crops were down it was still another great vintage with the quality being similar to 2014-2017 vintages
