Kilikanoon is one of the shining lights of the Clare Valley, consistently producing leading examples of Riesling, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. This 2021 Kilikanoon 'Mort's Block' Watervale Riesling is another intensely focused and flavoured Clare Valley Riesling.
Wonderfully perfumed this offers plenty of lemon, lime and apple flavours; the length and complexity make it a standout example either as a drink-now or cellar proposition.
"92 Points. This is fascinating - it is savoury and tart, with brilliant clarity and drive across the palate. It runs in undulating rivulets of flavour in the mouth, showing green apples, salted preserved lemons, pink grapefruit zest, fresh shaved fennel and juniper berries. Jasmine tea tannins course through the finish, giving shape and rise to the fruit. Very smart - not a plump crowd-pleaser, but a serious wine. 12.5% alc. Drink by 2031. $25.
