2023 'Traditionale' Riesling
The 39th vintage of Pikes Riesling is a worthy follower to some exceptional preceding years, but speaks of skilled hands in both vineyards and winery to produce a textbook representation out of a non-textbook vintage. A true reflection of the cooler vintage, this wine will stand the test of time - delightful on release, but will comfortably cellar for 10+ years.

Winemaker's Note:Good winter rain allowed soil profiles to be full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. A remarkably cool summer followed, providing perfect conditions for healthy balanced vines. The long ripening period produced fruit with a perfect balance of good colour, high natural acidity, and concentrated flavours. 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, our aim is to capture the flavour of the individual sites with minimal winemaking influence being evident. Â
