Appearance

Medium crimson — the elegant, classic colour of a Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2024 vintage, with the clarity and precision that distinguished Terra Rossa vineyard selection and 18 months of careful oak maturation deliver.

Aroma

Expressive and evocative — briar, forest floor, and Mediterranean herbs with a bright core of mulberry and blueberry fruit aromatics. The classic Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon aromatic profile at its most complex and immediately captivating, with the elegant spicy cedar notes of Hogshead and barrique maturation adding depth and dimension.

Palate

Full and supple — lovely flavours of plum, cassis, and briar with a lovely umami nuance that adds complexity and intrigue. Supple tannins and a long, elegant finish. The 18 months in new and used Hogshead and barrique providing the spicy cedar integration that defines the Katnook Estate style at its most refined.

Pairs With

Roasted lamb rack, slow-braised beef short rib, aged hard cheeses, or a classic charcuterie board — the supple tannins, bright fruit core, and savoury umami complexity make this a natural and elegant partner for the finest cuts at the table.

Winemaking Notes

Selected parcels from distinguished Coonawarra vineyards, aged for 18 months in a combination of new and used Hogshead and barrique — providing the elegant spicy cedar notes that complement the bright mulberry, cassis, and briar character of the fruit. Crafted as a single varietal expression of the classic and unique characteristics of the Coonawarra wine region.

Producer History

Katnook’s history stretches back to 1867, when Scottish immigrant John Riddoch arrived at Penola in South Australia and purchased parcels of land throughout Coonawarra, impressed by the remarkable rate of growth of fruit trees and vines in the area. He commissioned the building of his Woolshed — which still stands today at Katnook — planted 140 acres of vines, and made his first vintage in 1895. The first commercial vintage of the modern era was made in 1980 by winemaker Wayne Stehbens in the same Woolshed where Riddoch had made his wine 84 years earlier. Now, winemaker Daniel McNicol leads a new generation at Katnook, maintaining the heritage and tradition of one of Coonawarra’s most distinguished estates. Two Jimmy Watson trophies, a five-star rating in James Halliday’s Wine Companion, and one of 65 wines listed in the Excellent category of Langton’s VI Classification of Australian Wine. The Woolshed still stands. The quality endures.
