The Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Riesling 2025 is a benchmark release from one of Australia’s most iconic producers and a proud winner of James Halliday’s Winery of the Year. Crafted from premium fruit in the celebrated Watervale sub-region, this Riesling reflects both terroir and precision. The 2025 vintage was near perfect—above-average spring rainfall followed by a cool, dry summer slowed ripening, producing grapes with full flavour intensity, natural acidity, and lower sugar levels than in recent years.

Gently pressed and cool fermented for three weeks, the wine has been bottled to retain its purity and age-worthiness. In the glass, it reveals a concentrated core of lemon and lime zest, lifted by delicate floral aromatics and underpinned by a vibrant mineral backbone. Crisp, juicy, and energetic, the palate drives long and clean with signature Watervale precision, finishing mouth-watering and elegant.

Previous vintages have achieved critical acclaim, including 96 Points Sam Kim, Wine Orbit , and this release is destined to follow in their footsteps. Enjoy now for its bright zest and purity, or cellar confidently for up to 10 years. Pair with fresh oysters, citrus-dressed salads, spicy Thai dishes, or creamy goat cheese, where the wine’s piercing acidity and pristine freshness shine.
