2008 “The White Mullet”
THE WHITE MULLET 2008
Part Aussie Riesling, here blended with three other white grapes to make a clean, tangy, aromatic wine with a good squeeze of lemon and lime.
Drink - Susy Atkins.
Highly respected wine writer and MW Jancis Robinson has her own rating system. VGV means ‘very good value’. This year Pikes White Mullet has achieved a rating of 17 points out of 20, and thus easily makes it into the VGV category. VGV - inspired, zesty, full, truly intriguing blend at a good price. Really easy to like - complete and broad on the palate. Jancis Robinson - Purple Pages - June 2009
Matthew Jukes 100 Best Australian Wines 2009
Just to show that the South Africans aren’t the only people in the wine world to make ‘something out of nothing white blends’ so successfully, Pikes Mullet is a Riesling/ Viognier/ Sauvignon Blanc/ Chenin Blanc blend which confounds the sceptics and defies belief by tasting incredibly complex, as it should do, but also downright delicious at the same time (which most don’t). Mullets all round please.
