Kilikanoon Morts Block Riesling 2024: Crisp Precision, Mineral Depth
White 11.5% ABV ABV KilikanoonReally impressed with this one
Picked this up from my local wine shop on a whim and honestly it's become my go-to white for the last few weeks. The lime and passionfruit combo is so refreshing, especially chilled on a warm evening. At £18.50 it's not an everyday buy but it feels worth it.
Good birthday present shout
Got this as a birthday present from a mate who knows I like white wine. It's really aromatic when you pour it — loads of lime and floral stuff. Tasty and feels a bit special without being intimidating. I'm not a wine expert but I know when something's good and this is good.
Perfect with seafood
Bought this for a dinner party where we were doing prawns and fish tacos and it was absolutely perfect. There's this almost salty freshness to it that just works brilliantly with anything from the sea. Everyone asked what it was. The finish goes on forever too which I wasn't expecting.
Nice change from sauvignon blanc
I'm usually a sauv blanc person but my partner got me into riesling and this Kilikanoon is lovely. It's got that grapefruit sharpness I like but also some tropical fruit going on. Light and easy to drink. Will definitely explore more rieslings now.
One of the best whites I've had this year
Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered a glass, then immediately ordered another. The citrus flavours are so clean and bright, and there's this chalky dry finish that keeps you coming back. Tracked down a bottle to buy and it's just as good at home. Genuinely excellent.
Bit pricey for what it is
The wine shop guy recommended this and it's nice enough — very limey and fresh with a sort of minerally thing going on at the end. But nearly twenty quid? I've had rieslings at £12 that I enjoyed just as much. Not bad, just not sure it justifies the price.
Solid riesling, nothing fancy
Decent bottle. It's crisp and citrusy which is what I want from a riesling. I liked that it's only 11.5% so you can have a couple of glasses without feeling it too much. Would buy again but wouldn't go out of my way for it.
