95 Points - Ray Jordan
Firmly established as one of Australia's great Rieslings, the 2024 vintage of Pikes Traditionale Riesling represents the 40th release of this much loved Clare Valley wine.
The 2024 Pikes Traditionale Riesling again displays the clarity and purity found in only the finest Clare Valley Riesling. Opening with classic aromas of lime, lemon and fresh cut apple, the palate is approachable with the ripe, fleshy Meyer Lemon, some classic Pikes lime cordial notes and touch of peach confectionary. Whilst generous, the bright acid line coils around the expressive palate allowing the pristine free-run juice and chalky minerality to shine. Another brilliant Pikes Riesling release that will please the many fans of this wine.
"95 Points. Consistently one of the finest Rieslings from Clare, especially when you consider value for money. This vintage turned out really well for Riesling in Clare. Most of the fruit comes from Pike’s Polish Hill River vineyards with the balance from other vineyards throughout the region. There is a degree of tension yet there is power and intensity with a fine minerality and subtle citrus tang. Lovely wine for current drinking and for the cellar. $28. Drink: 2024 - 2034"- Ray Jordan, winepilot.com.
