The 2025 KT 5452 Riesling is a vibrant Clare Valley Riesling that showcases the purity, precision and regional character for which KT Wines has become renowned. Named after the cadastral lot number of the family vineyard in Watervale, the 5452 range celebrates the unique terroir of this famous Clare Valley sub-region. The 2025 vintage has produced a wine of exceptional freshness and intensity, highlighting the variety’s hallmark citrus drive and mineral elegance.
The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing lime blossom, lemon zest and green apple alongside delicate floral notes and hints of wet stone. The palate is crisp and beautifully focused, with layers of vibrant citrus fruit supported by bright natural acidity and a fine mineral backbone. Notes of kaffir lime, grapefruit and slate-like minerality carry through a long, refreshing finish that is both precise and persistent.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A classic Clare Valley Riesling that combines youthful vibrancy with outstanding cellaring potential. Fresh, zesty and incredibly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with oysters, prawns, sashimi, spicy Asian cuisine and fresh goat’s cheese. Enjoy now for its bright citrus purity, or cellar through 2040 and beyond as it develops the distinctive honeyed and toasty complexity of mature Australian Riesling.
