Kilikanoon Morts Block Watervale Riesling 2014

Description

James Halliday Winery of the Year 2013
We are thrilled with the newly released 2014 vintage !  Juicy aroma leaping out of the glass and beautiful intensity of fruit and balance on the palate. Delicious!

From the winery … “The naturally retained acidities and vibrant fruit flavours the perfect combination for high quality Rieslings and classic ageing potential.  An almost overwhelming tide of floral perfumes, fresh limes and lemon essence evoke the senses.  A tight core of bracing acidity, fresh flavours of lemons and lime juice combine in an expressive palate experience. A wine drinking beautifully in it’s youth or one that will provide further reward with careful cellaring.

The unique vineyard terroir and regional elevation of the Mort’s Block vineyard has captured the essence of the vintage, yet again. Watervale soils are typified by fertile red brown loams overlying limestone sub layers; soil profiles that lend themselves to growing Riesling of exceptional distinction and character.”

94 points, James Hallidy “Combines flavour with length. Lime and lavender with an assortment of dried spices. Such juicy drinkability. Crystal clear quality. Drink til 2025.”

91 points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front “Lavender perfume, talc, a sweet juicy lime burst of flavour, light chalkiness, Limey acid and pretty decent length. Gin and tonic in aftertaste., which is always nice. Accessible as a young wine, and good drinking.”
