Concentrated and powerful, Katnook Odyssey is a benchmark style with beautifully intense, pure, blackcurrant aromas, mocha oak complexity, superb volume and dense chocolaty tannins. The Odyssey verges on the essence of Coonawarra style yet manages to achieve remarkable balance and minerality. This highly prized Coonawarra wine is selected from the most outstanding parcels of intense Cabernet fruit, from specific vineyard rows planted on rich clay terra rossa loams over a thick hard layer of limestone. After vinification in small batch fermenters, maturation takes place over approximately 36 to 40 months in a combination of new French and new American barriques. Some parcels are "double oaked" to increase flavour complexity. The maturation regime is intuitive to the character of the vintage.
