Rich in heritage, Katnook lies in the heart of the fabled Coonawarra wine region, South Australia, home to some of Australias best Terra Rossa vineyards. Their history stretches back to 1867, after Scottish immigrant John Riddoch arrived at Penola in South Australia and purchased parcels of land throughout Coonawarra, impressed with the remarkable rate of growth of fruit trees and vines in the area, and commissioned the building of his Woolshed which still stands today at Katnook.

Daniel started his career at 14, working in vineyards throughout his local region, McLaren Vale, Adelaide. Daniel took his love and passion for the industry and completed his Winemaking degree at the University of Adelaide. Before moving to Coonawarra, Daniel spent 8 years working in McLaren Vale within an array of premium vineyards, wineries and a brewery in McLaren Vale. Daniel thoroughly enjoys working and living in the Coonawarra, noting, the wines here have purity, age ability and regionality." I am thankful to be a part of a very supportive, collaborative, and easy-going community.
