Katnook Founder's Block wines are named after the original land holding of John Riddoch, founder of Coonawarra. In 1890 Riddoch established the Coonawarra Fruit Colony at his property "Katnook" and thus one of Australia's leading wine districts was born. In 1980 winemaker Wayne Stehbens made his first vintage on the property which was by then renamed "Katnook Estate".
"Katnook Founder's Block is a natural progression for Katnook Estate. The classic quality and consistency that our reputation is based upon are intrinsic to all wines from the domain. Katnook Founder's Block may be for many an introduction to Katnook Estate and, for Katnook Estate devotees, their informal drinking wines."
- Wayne Stehbens, Senior Winemaker, Katnook Estate.
