TASTING NOTES FOR Kilikanoon Morts Reserve Riesling 2017

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with green hues. Bright and youthful with a crystalline clarity that reflects its purity and precision.

👃 Aromas
Highly lifted and refined, showing intense lime juice, lemon zest and citrus blossom. Subtle floral notes with hints of wet stone and mineral complexity build in the glass.

👅 Palate
Tightly wound and powerful, driven by piercing citrus—lime, lemon and grapefruit—layered over green apple and subtle spice. Bone-dry in style with incredible focus and purity.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Zesty and energetic with a fine, pithy texture. The finish is long, linear and mineral-driven, with mouth-watering acidity that carries the wine beautifully.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Clare Valley Riesling—intense, structured and built to age. Combines precision acidity with concentrated citrus fruit and hallmark minerality. A flagship style with serious pedigree and longevity.

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

🥂 BBD Verdict
A premium Clare Valley Riesling delivering power, purity and serious ageing potential.
A standout for mixed dozens when you want something precise, fresh and built to impress.
