Fresh, herbaceous savvy from one of our favourite Coonawarra producers.
It's a pale straw colour in the glass with flecks of green catching the light. Herbal notes sit comfortably alongside tropical undertones. Lifted lemongrass notes and light florals continue to add to the appeal. Mouthfilling from the first sip, flavours of gooseberry and restrained citrus lead a fruit-laden palate. The finish offers some lemon zest with a lingering finish.

From the Winery
Coonawarra's 2015 vintage was the earliest on record. An ideal growing season of slightly above average temperatures and dry conditions produced outstanding Sauvignon Blanc fruit in excellent condition with vibrant varietal character.
Katnook Founder’s Block wines are named in honour of the original land holding of John Riddoch, the founder of Coonawarra.
The Founder’s Block range is styled for everyday enjoyment, inviting a modern generation of wine consumers to explore the pleasures of Coonawarra wine. The wines are grounded in the past but genuinely focused on the present. They are honest, fruit driven, harmonious and shine with pure Coonawarra character.
