Pikes - Traditional Riesling

Punching well above its weight. Intense and finely tuned with classic lime and lemon characters, green apples and some slaty minerals kicking in. Pure, linear and amazing length. Enjoy as a racy number now, or see some joyous development over the next five years. 'What better summer wine than good Clare Valley riesling? This classical example drinks well now but will also reward bottle age. It has penetrating, appetising aromas of blossom, lime, bakery spices, lemon thyme and a steely thread. In the mouth, it's plump and juicy, perfectly balanced by zesty acidity and a finely structured, minerally backbone.' - Score 95 - Age, Melbourne, 10 Dec 2013, by Ralph Kyte-Powell.
