Pikes The Merle Riesling 2025

Share

The 2025 Merle Rielsing is fine boned and focussed with its pristine layers of lime zest, pear and bath salts. A firm backbone of acidity provides good structure and zesty appeal holding its shape nice and tight through to the finish. Excellent now and over the medium term.
