The Mort’s Reserve sets the internal benchmark for the best Kilikanoon Riesling Cuvee of the vintage. The result is a wine of brilliant clarity, almost translucent in color with subtle green tints. An intensely focused nose, uplifted and aromatic, delicate and sensual. Overt and flavorsome, yet restrained, the palate combines fresh citrus zing, lemon-lime depth and tightly wound natural acidity that all comes together in a long and satisfying finish.

96 pts - Australian Wine Companion: “Bright straw-green; more reserved and restrained than its junior brother at this stage of its development, but will be the greater wine in the long run, its purity, finesse and length of the highest class.”
92 pts/100 BEST WINES OF THE YEAR - Wine & Spirits: “Kilikanoon’s top selection form Mort’s Block and Khileyre Vineyard, this is tight and intense in its youth, packing a lot of energy into a complete and balanced Riesling. The floral lime flavors balance deeper notes of minerality through a long finish. This will gain complexity and richness with bottle age; it’s also delicious to drink now with a shellfish stew.”
92 pts - International Wine Cellar: “Vivid straw. Intensely perfumed nose displays green apple, citrus zest and chalky mineral scents, along with a touch of quinine. Dry but weighty on the palate, with impressive power to the tangy lemon curd and lime flavors. This concentrated but lithe wine finishes with zesty mineral and spice notes and excellent persistence.”
92 pts - The Wine Advocate: “The 2010 Mort’s Reserve Watervale Riesling displays white pepper, dill seed and lime cordial aromas with an undercurrent of freshly cut herbs. The light to medium-bodied palate is fully dry, crisp and concentrated with a long steely finish.”
