Pikes Traditionale Clare Valley Riesling 2022

A longstanding bestseller at the Pikes cellar door and around the country, the Traditionale is a must-have for all serious Riesling drinkers. Mike Bennie gives it a heroic write-up in the Halliday Wine Companion. "...juicy, bright, zingy... a good balance between fruitiness, refreshment factor and tension, too. A great drink right here." (Mike Bennie, The Halliday Companion). But he is not alone: "Lovely fragrant aromas of lemon, lime, bath salts, white flowers and feijoa. The palate has a real lushness of flavour, citrus, just-ripe stone fruit, lemon pith and talc. The acidity has a lively purity and drive and the length is really impressive. An outstanding wine and top value." (Aaron Brasher, The Real Review). “Beautifully fine and elegant... brilliantly focused palate delivering pristine fruit flavours with racy acidity. It's mouth-watering and lingering with excellent fruit purity...95pts" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).
