Vintage Conditions:

Katnook Prodigy is created from small parcels of premium Shiraz grapes, sourced from the estate’s terra rossa vineyards that consistently produce exceptional fruit with outstanding depth of flavour and firm tannin structures.  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 vibrant flavours and excellent regional expression. regional
