In 1981, decades before Sauvignon Blanc soared in the popularity stakes, Katnook Estate was one of the first to produce this variety in Australia.

A palate of richly layered fruit and cirtus with subtle herbaceous notes the 2019 vintage is perfect to enjoy now or cellar for up to eight years.

Tasting Notes

Richly layered fruit and citrus with subtle herbaceous notes, balanced by underlying minerality, providing structure and freshness.

Vineyard Notes

2019 started later than recent Coonawarra vintages with good rainfall in the lead up to harvest, followed by a warmer season than usual. Sauvignon Blanc grapes were picked optimal condition from two blocks, K4 and 2M1, on Katnook's Estate.

Winemaker Notes

20% of the wine was fermented and aged on lees for six months in a combination of new and seasonal French oak barrels to build complexity, texture and mouthfeel.

Food Pairing Notes

Fresh oysters with vinaigrette, a bucket of fried chicken or goats' cheese and zucchini quiche.
