AUSTRALIA – WHITE WINE KILIKANOON MORT’S BLOCK WATERVALE RIESLING 2023 Clare Valley, South Australia
FALERNIA GRAN RESERVA CARMENÈRE 2021 Valle de Elqui, sustainable
Consistently one of the best Rieslings from the Clare Valley, this comes from a low-yielding block in the Watervale subregion. It displays those crisp lemon rind and spicy characters of Riesling with lifted floral notes. The palate shows a degree of tension as it pushes through to a very long finish. Love that crisp mouthwatering crunchy acidity that finishes on a mineral note. Has the fruit and the structure to support cellaring. Drink by: 2024-2036. Score: 94 (Ray Jordan, winepilot.com, April 2024) Aromatic & Flavourful 428342 (D) 750 ml $19.95 2
Made from 60% partially dried fruit, this Amarone- style take on Carmenère makes for a truly unique wine. It’s plush, broad-shouldered and ripe, with lots of intense dark fruit, vanilla and chocolate, accompanied by an earthy undertone. Pair with stewed meats or pasta arrabbiata. Full-bodied & Smooth 269175 (XD) 750 ml $17.95 2
