Kilikanoon Mort's Block Riesling 2013


The Morts Block vineyard is located in the Leasingham district which has a habit of producing some great Riesling and Shiraz based wines. This vineyard was planted 40 years ago and is the spine for this and the Morts Block reserve wines. This wine has a little fruit from the Khileyre vineyard.

What is most evident is the amount of fruit weight that is bursting from this wine. This weight it mixed with scintillating acidity and grip. Back to the fruit as that is what I notice the most. It has lemon and lime with some blossom before a feijoa note on the mid-palate and a spicy finish. From my perspective this offers a lot at just over 20 bucks in a drink now or later style.
