Katnook Estate wines take their name from the domain where they are grown and made, limited release editions of great intensity of flavour, made with fastidious attention to detail. Shiraz for this wine was selected from distinguished sites at the estate's vineyards. The 2004 vintage started with an average spring and near perfect flowering. Cool and dry conditions in summer contributed to one of the latest harvests on record. Fruit was picked at optimal ripeness with excellent varietal definition, generous flavours and fine balance. Harvested mid April to mid May pH 3.4 Acidity 6.5g/L Alcohol 14% Winemaker Wayne Stehbens.
