Katnook Estate Shiraz 2017
Katnook Estate Shiraz captures the elegance and underlying power of classic cool climate Shiraz. Coonawarra's 2017 vintage was a return to a more traditional Coonawarra vintage with a cool growing season and long, mild summer.
A richly layered palate of red berries, plum and spice, complemented by subtle oak maturation characters and lingering, fine grained tannins. Will age gracefully for up to 15 years.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A richly layered palate of red berries, plum and spice, complemented by subtle oak maturation characters and lingering, fine grained tannins.
Vineyard Notes
2017 was a return to a more traditional Coonawarra vintage with a cool growing season and long, mild summer. Harvest was later than in recent years; ideal conditions in the lead up produced outstanding Shiraz fruit with deep colour and rich fruit flavours.
Winemaker Notes
Selected parcels were maturated for an average of 13 months in American (55%) and French (35%) oak barrels before blending, adding complexity and suppleness.
Food Pairing Notes
Barbequed eye fillet of beef, lamb shanks with red wine and rosemary or some aged cheddar cheese.
