Pikes The Merle Riesling 2022 (750ml)

There’s lovely intensity and vibrancy to this wine; a hint of kerosene adds, rather than detracts, from the bright citrus and floral aromas. It’s dry and juicy on the palate with racy, lime-drenched acidity and a long, persistent finish. Could gain honeyed complexity with lengthy cellaring, it’s a wonder- fully refreshing drop now.
