TASTING NOTES FOR Kilikanoon Killerman’s Run Riesling 2023
🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with bright green hues and brilliant clarity. Youthful and vibrant in the glass.
👃 Aromas
Lifted and intense, showing lime, lemon zest and green apple with hints of orange blossom and delicate florals. Subtle mineral notes add a fresh, steely edge.
👅 Palate
Crisp and zesty, driven by pure citrus—lime, lemon and grapefruit—alongside green apple and a touch of passionfruit. Bright acidity gives the wine energy and precision, keeping it clean and refreshing.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Light, tight and finely structured with a zippy mouthfeel. The finish is long, dry and mineral, with lingering citrus and slate-like freshness.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Clare Valley Riesling—fresh, vibrant and beautifully balanced. Focused on citrus purity, crisp acidity and mineral drive, making it both immediately enjoyable and capable of short-term ageing.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with fresh seafood, oysters, prawns, sushi or spicy Asian dishes. Also excellent with salads or goat’s cheese.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A cracking Clare Valley Riesling—bright, zesty and seriously drinkable.
Perfect for mixed dozens and a go-to white that always delivers freshness and value.
Cheers
