2019 'Traditionale' Riesling - Museum Release

This is the Museum release of the 2019 vintage of our most important wine. The “Trad” is always a lovely drink on release, but with 5 -7 years in the cellar it will amply reward those who like their Rieslings with some bottle development.

The majesty of this noble variety writ large, captured here mid-journey with a long life ahead of it. Whilst still retaining freshness and length like a newly released Pikes Riesling, this Museum release has softened it’s fruit, changing from the vibrancy of youth to the delicious richer note of acquired maturity. Fantastic now, but will continue to develop and evolve as the best Rieslings do.

Classic Pikes Riesling with generous lime characters, framed around some green apple and typical Watervale light tropical characters. Relaxed slightly in expressiveness but maturing beautifully into a buttery character, almost lime curd note with the fuller mouthfeel still rolling across palate with consummate ease.

Lifted green citrus, with soft granny smith apple and with some dried ginger and kaffir lime leaf notes.
