Place

With many of the Kilikanoon’s vineyards situated in the famed sub-appellation of Watervale, Clare Valley, this Riesling holds the hallmarks of the unique and idyllic region.

Vintage Conditions

Above average spring rain falls gave way to a cool, dry summer. These conditions slowed the ripening of the grapes, resulting in full flavours, good natural acidities, and lower Baume’s (sugar) than previous vintages. Overall conditions were the best they had been for many years, and a rare vintage where quantity is good, and quality exceptional. A stunning vintage for drinkers and collectors alike.

Winemaking

The grapes were placed directly into the press where they were drained and gently pressed to tank for cold settling. The racked juice was fermented cool for three weeks to retain freshness and delicate aromatics. The finished wine was then stabilised and filtered to ensure clarity and longevity.
