Pikes Wines: Clare Valley Riesling, Luccio Sangiovese and Shiraz

The Pikes Range at YourWines

Pikes Riesling: Traditionale and The Merle

The Traditionale Riesling has been a cornerstone of the Pikes range for more than four decades. Made from estate fruit and trusted growers in Watervale, Leasingham, Mintaro and Sevenhill, it shows lime, green apple and a bright, focused palate that loves oysters and seafood.

The Merle is the reserve Riesling, named in honour of co-founder Merle Pike and the pinnacle of the estate grown Riesling. In years that do not meet its strict quality criteria, it is simply not released.

To round out the white wine selection, Valley's End blends Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, a lovely match for Thai flavours.

Pikes Luccio: Sangiovese, Fiano, Pinot Grigio and Rosé

Sangiovese was the first alternative variety planted on the estate, and Pikes has championed it for nearly 30 years. The Luccio Sangiovese brings cherries and fleshy plum, ready for pizza, pasta or antipasti.

The Luccio range also offers a Fiano, a Pinot Grigio and a fresh, dry Luccio Rosé, all from the Clare Valley.

Clare Valley Reds

On the red wine side, Eastside takes its name from the vineyard's place on the estate and shows a balanced, modern style of Clare Shiraz. Los Compañeros, Spanish for The Companions, pairs Shiraz with a dash of Tempranillo.

For Cabernet Sauvignon lovers, there is The Dogwalk Cabernets, while Homage Cabernet Malbec pays tribute to a blend long made in the region and is lovely with roast lamb.

The Reserve Wines

The E.W.P. Reserve Shiraz honours co-founder Edgar Walter Pike and, like The Merle, was first released in 2005. The pinnacle of the estate grown Shiraz, it is made only in exceptional vintages.

The Hill Block Reserve Cabernet is likewise made only in exceptional vintages.
