Brilliant, pale green. 2017 Pikes Traditionale shows restrained & delicate aromas of lime/lemon, citrus blossom and bath powder, along with some subtle wet slate characters too. Very clean and attractive. Displays the clarity and purity of an exceptional vintage.
.Both estate and contract-grown, the 33rd consecutive release from one of the great Clare Valley vintages, joining '02, '05, '09 and '12. Crisp acidity and the faintest hint of spritz lift the palate from the word go; the freshness of lime and lemon fruit is underwritten by minerally notes ex the acidity.

Light straw colour. The aroma is earthy and savoury with some dried undergrowth and foresty nuances. The palate is fruity and juicy, with a trace of sweetness balanced by fresh citrusy acidity. Lime and lemon flavours abound. Good flavour, intensity and length, balance and charm. 17 SEP 2017
