TASTING NOTES FOR Kilikanoon Mort’s Block Riesling 2024

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with youthful green hues and brilliant clarity. Bright, fresh and tightly defined in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Highly aromatic, bursting with lemon and lime, kaffir lime and green apple. Floral notes of jasmine and delicate perfume lift the nose, alongside subtle mineral hints.

👅 Palate
Focused and intense, delivering concentrated waves of citrus—lime juice, lemon and crisp apple. The fruit is pure and vibrant, driven by lively, mouth-watering acidity that gives precision and energy.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Tight, linear and finely structured. A chalky, mineral thread carries through to a long, lingering finish with talc-like finesse and zesty citrus persistence.

🍇 Overall Style
A benchmark Watervale Riesling—crisp, mineral and intensely citrus-driven. Combines purity, structure and freshness, with excellent drinking now and strong cellaring potential.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, prawns, grilled fish or fresh sashimi. Also excellent with spicy Asian dishes or goat’s cheese.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A classic Clare Valley Riesling—zesty, precise and seriously refreshing.
Perfect for mixed dozens and a must-have for lovers of crisp, mineral whites.

Cheers
