This cool climate shiraz has an inviting nose of violets, white pepper and spice entwined with bright blue and black fruits, Danish and a touch of cedar - the aromatics are inviting.

Vineyard Notes
Coonawarra experienced another strong vintage in 2022. Reasonable winter and mid spring rains, providing sound conditions for the vines growing season. Mild and stable weather conditions with minimal heat fluctuations coupled with cool night-time temperatures ensured an extended ripening period and exceptional fruit quality during harvest.
Katnook Prodigy is created from small parcels of premium Shiraz grapes sourced from sites that have consistently produced fruit with outstanding depth of flavour, excellent colour and firm tannin structures.
