Pikes
Traditionale Clare Valley Riesling



Estate situated in the quaint Polish Hill sub region of South Australia’s Clare Valley. Brothers Andrew & Neil Pike established Pikes in 1984 and continue to manage today. Pale lemon with pronounced aromas of citrus & stone fruits adding floral notes. On the palate flavors of lemon/lime, peach & pineapple with honey and toasty biscuit notes. Medium+ finish ending with wet stone character. Very Good, some bottle age will benefit.

Nice wine... but 100% not what would consider to be riesling. Not in the fruit tones, not in the acids.

Jun 21st, 2018Tight and rough on opening. Much better on day two. I wish I had saved more. Margarita mix, lemon verbena, hint of some sweet fruit, and lots of acid. A bit linear.
