Katnook Founders Block Merlot 2022 from Coonawarra is a smooth, modern Merlot that’s all about juicy fruit, refreshment and sheer drinkability – think a relaxed, all‑occasion red for BBQs and easy mid‑week dinners. It’s light‑ to medium‑bodied but still properly flavoursome.

In the glass, you’re looking at ripe dark berries, black cherry and plum, with hints of chocolate, gentle spice and a touch of leafiness adding lift. The palate is crunchy yet supple – rich dark fruits and plum wrapped in fine, lingering tannins, giving a smooth, vibrant finish that keeps Founders Block Merlot 2022 feeling moreish rather than heavy.

Katnook Founders Block Merlot 2022 is tailor‑made for good friends and summer BBQs – sausages, burgers, grilled lamb chops or sticky pork ribs all work a treat. It’s just as happy with pizza, char‑grilled veg or a simple cheese and antipasto board, where that soft structure and bright fruit make it dangerously easy to keep topping up the glass.​
