Product Notes

Pikes Hills and Valleys Riesling is a sophisticated Australian wine. Originating from the Clare Valley, it captures the citric character of the region's aromatic white wines. The nose reveals intense notes of key lime pie and grapefruit, intertwined with a hint of green apple. This wine bursts onto the palate with ebullient freshness and acidity, lending to a crisp, clean finish. Its minerality balances the fruitiness, resulting in a dry, but beautifully layered palate. With a whisper of floral undertones, this Riesling pairs splendidly with piquant cuisine. Pikes Hills and Valleys Riesling offers an exquisite journey for wine connoisseurs and novices alike.

Tasting Notes

Attractive and inviting aromas of stonefruit and sweet limes are dominant, with floral notes of honeysuckle and lavender adding layers of complexity. Bright lime and citrus fruits, perfectly balanced with soft sweetness and sherbet like acidity. Hints of musk and a talcy like texture play in the background
