Kilikanoon Killerman’s Run Riesling 2022

Outstanding value here. Floral and high aromatics to the fore with apple blossom, red apple, citrus. Fresh and zesty to taste with a solid core of lime flavours from lime cordial through to lime zest  – so very Clare – playing throughout. It finishes with a touch of textural grapefruit pithiness – lip-smacking stuff! The 2022 vintage was a great year in the Clare Valley and Riesling is one of its big beneficiaries. Killerman’s Run arrives into the world fresh, aromatic, energetic and seriously good for what it a second label $22 Riesling with a rare ability (for the price) to benefit from extended time in bottle. And that also raises the A-word – acidity. Yes, you can’t help but notice it. It’s integral to this wine’s energy not to mention ageing ability, but it is filigree-fine and buzzes with liveliness. Set this wine up with some seafood and watch the A-word disappear.
