Pikes The Merle Riesling 2022 (750ml) Mendoza

Pikes The Merle Riesling 2022 (750ml) MendozaTheres lovely intensity and vibrancy to this wine; a hint of kerosene adds, rather than detracts, from the bright citrus and floral aromas. Its dry and juicy on the palate with racy, lime drenched acidity and a long, persistent finish. Could gain honeyed complexity with lengthy cellaring, its a wonder fully refreshing drop now.

Its nose surprises you with its delicate balance of aromas

EXPOSURE AND ALTITUDE:

moderately sweet medium body and a polished

Silky but this wine has an amazing texture

and represents the apex of their winemaking tradition

Give it another two years in the bottle

The wine is layered with lacy acidity and ultrafine

and a full-bodied mouthfeel

from clayey-sandy to clayey-silty

it slowly grows on the nose

with the right level of tannins and a long finale

demanding efforts
