Description 95pt flagship Reserve Shiraz from Clare Valley’s terrific Pikes. “An absolutely delightful medium-bodied wine from the Polish Hill River vineyard. 95pts” (Ray Jordan, WinePilot). The Pike brothers – Neil, a veteran winemaker (he’s done over 38 vintages in Clare); Andrew the seasoned viticulturist (he spent 22 years working for big names like Wynn’s Coonawarra and Southcorp) established Pikes winery in the Polish Hill sub-region of the Clare Valley in 1984, renovating an old stone shearing shed to house their winery and cellar door. Together they turned out formidable wines that earn plenty of show medals and critical acclaim. A very popular destination and brand, as illustrated by its winning the Halliday Wine Companion’s People's Choice Award in 2022 and 2023. Top releases, the Merle Riesling and EWP (named after patriarch, Edgar) Shiraz were first made in 2005.
