Our Review
Katnook has a long history of grape growing and winemaking in Coonawarra, dating to the late 1800s. After a lengthy hiatus, the modern era began in 1971 with vineyard replanting, followed by the first commercial vintage in 1980. Cabernet sauvignon and shiraz remain the focus, with the Odyssey Cabernet Sauvignon and Prodigy Shiraz at the top of a multi-tiered portfolio. -KATRINA BUTLER

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.
