Kilikanoon Mort’s Block Clare Valley Riesling

Three outstanding vintages in a row and Mort’s Block has cemented its position among the Clare’s best value set. The latest is a pure, focused and well-executed style that controls the phenolic structure of 2013 impeccably. It’s intense and persistent, with lovely vibrancy of talc, lemon pulp, lime zest and soft lemon pith texture, carried by the classic chalk mineral mouth feel that defines Watervale. $16 at Edinburgh Cellars.
