Overview
Odyssey is Katnook Estate's highly prized reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and a benchmark expression of Coonawarra's celebrated terra rossa soils. Produced from selected parcels of intensely flavoured Cabernet fruit, the 1996 vintage offers collectors a mature release from one of the region's established estates.
Vineyard and Winemaking
Fruit for Odyssey is selected from specific vineyard rows planted on rich clay loams over a thick layer of limestone. Following fermentation in headed-down fermenters, the wine is matured for approximately 36 to 40 months in new French oak. Selected parcels may receive additional oak maturation to build further complexity.
Wine Style
Andrew Caillard MW: This highly prized Coonawarra wine has emerged as a benchmark ‘essence of Coonawarra’ style with beautifully intense pure blackcurrant aromas, mocha oak complexity and plush chocolaty flavours.
Critic Review
19.2/20 - Jeremy Oliver's Australian Wine Annual 2004
Reviewed 2004
A superlative modern Coonawarra cabernet reserve label from one of the region's star makers. Odyssey is luxuriant in its expression of pure, dark fruit and is sumptuously but carefully oaked.
