Killikanoon Clare Valley Mort's Block Riesling 2019 (JH 92)

James Halliday Wine Companion 92 points.
A regional stalwart, always offering good value. Quince, pink grapefruit, spa salts and lemon zest, careening along a structural meld of talcy chew and bright acidity. Relaxed in the regional context. Nothing too shrill.

WINERY NOTES:
Hand selected parcels were chosen from across our famed Golden Hillside vineyards, including the original Mort’s Block Vineyard that started it all. 100% Watervale fruit, only minutes from the Kilikanoon winery.

Pale straw in appearance with brilliant clarity and youthful green tints.

Lifted Riesling profile; lemon curd, hints of tropical fruits and freshly squeezed kaffir limes round out the nose.

Limes, citrus rind and subtle tropical nuances wrapped around a core of spine tingling acidity confidently define the cool 2019 vintage conditions. A potent and zesty finish completely frame the wine destined to live long in the cellar.
