This is one of the world’s finest, most classic dry Rieslings; the Clare Valley is renowned as a prime location for this variety. In pursuit of natural purity and finesse, 100% free-run juice (no pressing) is used for this top-quality wine. ‘Traditionale’ is vivid, bright and aromatic, and seems to leap out of the glass with fragrant white floral and kaffir lime character. Full of citrus and lime on the palate, it is intense and concentrated, with mouthwatering acidity to keep everything in check. The lingering finish is beautifully-balanced.

Winemaking
The family vineyard site at Polish Hill is unique, with tough acidic soils on top of 650 million year-old dark grey siltstone of the Kadlunga Slate formation. Made with minimal intervention, 100% free-run juice of the highest quality, fermented with neutral yeast and lees-aged for three months in stainless steel.
Press Review
2024 Pikes Traditionale Riesling was included in my Finest Fifty Wines of 2025 Report, and this is a very rare accolade, given I taste upwards of thirty thousand wines per year. This is the finest value, inexpensive, classic, dry Riesling in the UK right now. It is electrifying, downright delicious, and you ought to buy as much as you can carry. It will also age well for a couple of years, too.
