Katnook Founder's Block wines are named after the original land holding of John Riddoch, founder of Coonawarra and represent remarkable value for those looking for a wine with the stamp of Coonawarra. They are supple fruit forward wines for immediate enjoyment.

In 1980, when Riddoch based the headquarters of Coonawarra at “Katnook”, one of Australia’s leading wine districts was established. With their roots in the region’s history and their style in the present, Katnook Founder’s Block wines are mellow, fruit forward and harmonious and shine with pure Coonawarra character.

Merlot excels in Coonawarra and with its complex array of red berries, cherry and earthy notes this luscious wine is a true expression of the variety. Fresh and juicy red fruit and subtle toasty oak maturation are harmoniously integrated providing a plush mouthfeel and a lingering finish.

An enticing and supple wine for delicious drinking for 5 to 8 years from vintage.
