Pikes Traditionale Riesling 2018 from Clare Valley is a brilliant pale green colour, a very attractive aroma dominated by lemon, lime, and citrus nuances and maybe some yellow peach as well. Flecks of bath powder and wet slate are also in the mix.

The palate is fresh, crisp and dry; the palate is brimming with the lemon, lime and slate characters mentioned above, all nicely balanced by bright acidity that provides much of the drive to the finish.

Reviews

“Invariably find myself drinking a few bottles of this over the warmer months.
Some spice and kaffir lime leaf, juicy citrus, pithy and chalky texture, a nice energy about it, delivering juicy flavour, crunch and a pretty impressive mouth-watering stony finish. Some gin and tonic sweetness/bitterness in the aftertaste. Excellent.”
