96 Points – Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot, September 2021
“This is one of the very best of the Riesling Traditionale
line I have seen… Lovely lifted aromas tantalise. Limes, spices, bath salts, a hint of Turkish Delight, and throughout, appealing florals. The wine has immaculate balance and good intensity. Seriously impressive length and a nice flick of acidity to carry the wine. This has ten to twenty years ahead. Superb stuff.”

93 Points – Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, September 2021
“Pikes Traditional Riesling has a great ability to mix friendliness with quality. It often seems quite open and fruit ‘forward’ but it keeps its length intact, and its line. This 2021 release is a beauty; chalky and dry but ripped with citrus- driven fruit. It’s not excessively intense but it’s above- average in that regard. It’s delicious. It’s elegant. And it’s value speaks for itself.”

Description

Pikes Wines was first established in 1984 by brothers Andrew and Neil Pike, and continues to be family owned and operated to this day.

The Pikes Estate is comprised of approximately 100 hectares of rolling slopes in the historic and picturesque Polish Hill River sub region on the eastern side of the Clare Valley. The climate in this area is considerably cooler and the soils are also quite unique to the rest of the region. These attributes impart distinctive flavours and aromas to the wines from the Polish Hill River area.
Whilst we are best known for Riesling, we have been growing Shiraz and Cabernet for 35 years and have 20 different grape varieties planted on our estate, producing a wide range of wine styles to suit all tastes.

Our Tasting Room is open daily and offers a 40-minute seated tasting of five of our estate grown wines, hosted by a dedicated member of our tasting room team.
The Pikes Tasting Room and adjoining Slate Restaurant are housed in a new building, which boasts a contemporary design combined with traditional materials to create a linger-worthy tasting and dining experience.

On Thursday to Sunday, Slate Restaurant comes to life, offering a modern Australian menu that changes and evolves constantly, focusing on seasonal produce and showcasing the best of the Clare Valley.
The Tasting Room and Slate have a seamless connection with our existing on-site brewery, Pikes Beer Company, which includes an alfresco area that offers a relaxed Garden menu on weekends.
