Pale watery gold. A lemon wash bits the nose, a little grip and white flowers with a faint reduction. Sweetish start, lemon/lime oils in the background rise to fore, definite honey tones. Simple? Nice enjoyable. Will probably age well.

A clean and elegant wine, Pikes is very consistent with this number. Plenty of lemon and lime. Grass and river stone. Good body, but maybe more medium length than long… There is scope for some more complexity to come with age. *Can still drink well after 4 days... with some icing-sugar showing what complexity might come*

Pikes Riesling Traditionale 2022: Displaying a pale straw hue in the glass, this Riesling presents a bouquet of apples, lemons, and a subtle hint of kerosene. The palate is smooth and rounded, featuring flavors of pear and citrus. While this particular bottle showcases less acidity than previous tastings, it retains a refreshing quality and finishes with a satisfying length. A well-crafted wine, though it may not provide any extraordinary "wow" factors.
Found some earlier notes from February where I remarked "Fresh, high acidity".

I had this wine before and I liked it. For some reason I was disappointed with this bottle. Maybe the wrong type of food.

Typical petrol on the nose with clean crisp apple / pear. Dry.
