Pikes - 2022 - Pikes Riesling Reserve The Merle - 750 ml.

Pikes farms Riesling in the Clare Valley, the district a couple of hours north of Adelaide whose growers collectively abandoned corks for screwcaps in 2000, a move that reset how Australian white wine is sealed. The Merle is the name attached to this 2022 reserve bottling. Clare Riesling is conventionally finished dry, without the residual sweetness common in German versions of the grape.
