A summer staple, this Pikes Traditionale Riesling doesn't miss. Despite coming from a challenging vintage, this 2025 is a super drink.
Hypnotic scents of Jasmine flowers, flirtatious seaspray, expressive bath salts and green apple peel flow to the flavour profile delivering a terrific mouth perfume. Bickford's lime cordial, lime zest and cold-pressed green apples add delight. The acid is pitched in the zone cleansing the palate as it should. Picnics at the beach are where I'm at, but sit this beside a bucket of prawns and it won't stand a chance. Winning!
