Katnook

South Australia | Coonawarra | Bindjali people

Our Review

Katnook has taken significant strides since acquisition by Freixenet, the Spanish cava producer. The historic stone woolshed in which the 2nd vintage in Coonawarra (1896) was made, and which has served Katnook since 1980, has been restored. Likewise, the former office of John Riddoch has been restored and is now the cellar door. Well over half of the total estate plantings are cabernet sauvignon and shiraz; the Odyssey Cabernet Sauvignon and Prodigy Shiraz are the duo at the top of a multi-tiered production. -JAMES HALLIDAY

Information

A visit to Katnook Estate will give you more than a tasting of delicious wines – it's also a journey through a century of winemaking history. Katnook is the oldest existing winery in the region, and John Riddoch’s beautiful historic buildings have been converted into our cellar door and wedding and events venues.
At the entrance to the cellar door, a deep terra rossa soil profile pit showcases the link between terroir and Coonawarra’s wine quality. You can also enjoy a personalised tasting of Katnook wines (including cellar door exclusive and museum wines) and sample a delicious selection of cheese and local produce.
