Kilikanoon Mort ‘s Reserve Watervale Riesling 2011

Description

Kilikanoon, established in 1997 by Kevin Mitchell, with grapes from two vineyards owned by Kevin and his father Mort, specialises in producing wines with strong regional and varietal definition.

In its relatively short history Kilikanoon has won a large number of Australian and International awards and received high praise from the world’s most respected wine writers. The 2002 Clare Valley Wine Show really put Kilikanoon on the map, when they took home six of the seven trophies. Since that time the winery has gone from strength to strength taking home a number of awards including the San Francisco International Wine Competitions, Best of Nation Trophy (2010), and receiving comments such as “This is one of the most brilliantly run wineries in Australia” from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.  In 2013 they were awarded Winery of the Year by James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion.

95 POINTS and WINERY OF THE YEAR James Halliday ‘s 2013 Australian Wine Companion … “an altogether tightly wound and mineral accented bouquet. offering mere glimpses of lime. florals and riverstone. the palate is beautifully poised and precise. linear and mouth puckeringly racy. needing some time to reveal its true beauty. certainly worth the wait. “

Double Trophy winner at 2011 Clare Wine Show.

94 POINTS Tyson Stelzer .. “I am hopelessly besotted with the classic. fine strung purity that so many Clare rieslings have achieved in 2011 .. A wine of great fruit concentration and structure. built around a core of intense lemon and lime zest. with notes of red apple and quince. It builds incrementally in the mouth. to great levels of fruit impact. riding on a razor sharp edge of bracing acidity that will delivery it to a wonderful place in years to come. “

91 POINTS Wine Spectator. 90 POINTS Robert Parker.
