Pikes Traditionale Riesling 2025

Our Verdict

Hands down one of Australia's best Rieslings ...

"The professionals’ pick for rock-solid Riesling at a reasonable price."  Richard Hemming MW, Janics Robinson.Com

"Well, my word, this an intense wine in 2025, like so many of them are. Lime, green apple, lavender, tarragon, a spicy fresh ginger top note. It’s all lime juice, lemon in water, and tangy green apple, some powdery grip to texture, quite some bite to acidity, though there is perfume and charm to go with that, and it finishes very firm with good length, closing all gin and tonic with a hard squeeze of lime. This is kind of austere and tight for a Traditionale, though it does have the makings of something very good. I’d give it a little more time in bottle, or try it with calamari and chips if you’re going in now." 92 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

"A super delicious youngster already showing plenty of Clare Riesling personality with its florals, citrus and fragrant bath powder aromas. There is a smooth, textural element to this wine that makes it easy to get to know and enjoy early. It opens up on a flavour bed of lime curd and lemonbutter, candied rind, apple and spice. Dry and pithy to close." 95 Points - Andrew Caillard MW, Vintage Journal
