Pikes Traditionale Riesling 2024 (Clare Valley)
Dozen Price: $275.88
RRP: $27.00
The 2024 vintage of Pikes Traditionale Riesling exudes a stunning pale straw colour with hints of green. It boasts a delicate aroma of lemon blossoms and white stone fruit, with subtle hints of rose petals. The ripe and juicy Meyer lemon is immediately evident, accompanied by the classic Pikes lime cordial notes and a touch of peach sweetness. While the flavour profile is generous, the bright acid line provides a balancing effect, allowing the pure juice and chalky minerality to take centre stage.

Winery & Vintage Info
After an average winter rainfall, our soil profile was full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. Following early bud burst, a bad frost event hit some parts of the valley in late October. Spring was dry, but thunderstorms in November and December helped setup our vine canopies. A warm, dry harvest with low disease pressure allowed grape intake to run extremely smoothly. Riesling yields were slightly above average.
Fruit sourced from our own estate in Polish Hill River, and growers’ vineyards in Watervale, Leasingham, Mintaro and Sevenhill. Made exclusively with free run juice, Pikes aim is to capture the flavour of the individual sites with minimal winemaking influence being evident.
In our 40th Vintage comes a Traditionale Riesling worthy of celebration! A smooth, uninterrupted growing season shows more forthcoming and bolder fruit whilst sacrificing nothing in terms of structure and length. Amazing on release, but will comfortably cellar for 10+ years.
100% free run juice, neutral yeast, rested on fermentation lees for 3 months prior to bottling.
