Monkeyshed Wines

Grapes: Riesling
Each: £10.95

The label is lifted from the beer established by Henry Pike who first settled the family in South Australia in 1878. Moving from one legendary Aussie beverage to another the Pikes set up in wine in 1984. If New Zealand does Sauvignon Blanc to a global level, Australian certainly does the same with Riesling – fantastic. The Clare Valley a wee bit north of Adelaide is the homeland of the best and Pikes is up there. Good citrus flavours with the signature petrolly (but in a nice way) tones that define this other amberish nectar.
