Dan McNicol
Winemaker

Dan started at Katnook as an assistant winemaker in 2019, soon after graduating in winemaking from the University of Adelaide and with two vintages under his belt, is now Katnook winemaker. Before and during his studies, Dan worked in both the winery and vineyard at Wirra Wirra, McLaren Vale for 7 years.

Dan loves living and working in Coonawarra, noting, ‘The wines here have so much potential and this area feels like true countryside - relaxed and easy going.

I’m happy to be amongst a nice bunch of people. It’s wonderful to be close to beautiful scenery and I have to say, I’m loving the crayfish.
