Katnook

Coonawarra Cabernet and Shiraz rooted in limestone and cool maritime influence.

Katnook operates in Coonawarra, the Limestone Coast's most celebrated subregion, where terra rossa soil and cool maritime influence shape wines of structure and depth. The winery's portfolio centers on Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz—varieties that thrive in this terroir—alongside Malbec, each capturing the region's signature mineral character. The Caledonian Cabernet-Shiraz blend, rated 91.0 by prestige critics including Wine Advocate and Decanter, demonstrates the house style: dark-fruited, layered, built for aging. The Odyssey Cabernet Sauvignon (89.5) and 10 Acres Malbec (90.0) extend the range, offering distinct expressions of Coonawarra's cool-climate potential. Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff have also assessed the portfolio. The winery's focus remains on varietal authenticity and regional expression rather than innovation for its own sake.
