Pikes "Traditionale" Clare Valley Dry Riesling 2022

Wine Enthusiast : 92 Points

(3/1/2024) A vibrant, transparent perfume of lime zest, white blossoms, orange essence and chalk leads. Racy acidity on the palate cuts through a slippery texture, leaving tangy citrus flavors lingering long on the finish. Highly refreshing and a bargain for the quality.

James Suckling : 94 Points

(10/23/2022) Wonderfully fragrant nose of lemon blossom, then juicy and vibrant on the sleek and super-straight palate, this is a prototypical Clare Valley dry riesling with a lot of lime fruit and a very zesty finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Decanter : 93 Points

(2/26/2023) Now in its 38th vintage, Traditionale is Australia's best-selling premium Riesling. A great-value, ageworthy drop from a fine, cool year. Bone-dry with a perky grip of lime juice acidity, orange blossom lift and crisp flavours of lemon sherbet and wet river stones. A great aperitif for shellfish.
