Pikes Los Companeros Clare Valley Shiraz Tempranillo 2018

Under the leadership of Andrew and Neil, the Pikes estate grew to more than 100 hectares and now features more than 20 different varieties, including Savagnin, Albariño, Nero d’avola, Fiano, Montepulciano and Tempranillo. Los Compañeros is Spanish for ‘The Companions’ as Shiraz and Tempranillo really do keep great company. A wine that really is greater than the sum of its parts. Delicious on release, it is meant to be consumed in its youth. Perfect blending companions, Tempranillo provides aromatic lift and a rustic textural element to the soft richness of the Shiraz. No new oak here, so the fruit really sings.
