Description
The richly textured 2023 'Wilfred's Block' really is a definitive Australian blend of inky, slatey Cabernet and sumptuous, spicy Shiraz.
In 1985 Pikes Wines was set up by by viticulturist Andrew, his wife Cathy, and winemaking brother Neil, with support from parents, Merle and Edgar, and its first cellar door opened. A very popular destination and brand, as illustrated by its winning the Halliday Wine Companion’s People's Choice Award in 2022 and 2023. Pikes have made drinks – beer, soft drinks and cordials – and eventually wine in the 1980s – since shortly after Henry Pike arrived in Australia from Dorset, England in 1878.
The richly textured 2023 'Wilfred's Block' really is a definitive Australian blend of inky, slatey Cabernet and sumptuous, spicy Shiraz, with layers of flavour that reveal themselves slowly. Perfect for winter sipping. Decant, pour into big glasses, and savour with good food, family and good friends. It will cellar well until 2029, but is drinking beautifully now.
