Katnook Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Our best known wine is listed in the 'Excellent' category of Australia's prestigious Langton's Classification, which says of the style, 'Katnook Cabernet Sauvignon reflects its strong Coonawarra provenance with plenty of intense blackcurrant mulberry fruit definition, mid palate richness, finely grained tannins and excellent flavour length. The wines have medium to long term cellaring potential.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The 2013 vintage in Coonawarra was noted for slightly warmer conditions and well below average rainfall especially throughout the later stages of the growing season. This led to an earlier than usual vintage with Cabernet Sauvignon fruit that showed intense colour and excellent fruit concentration.
Production Notes
Maturation for 13 months in 50% French (10% new) and 50% older American oak barriques has added complexity and suppleness.
Winemaker Notes
A richly layered palate of dark berry fruits and well integrated oak maturation flavours of cedar, dark chocolate and spice. The finish is long and lingering with soft, fine grained tannins.
Food Pairing Notes
Classic lamb roast with all the trimmings, Chinese Char Sui BBQ spare ribs or grilled, stuffed Portobello mushrooms.
