Pikes 'The E.W.P' Reserve Shiraz

Pikes ‘The E.W.P.’ Reserve Shiraz 2023 is a commanding estate-grown Shiraz from the Polish Hill River subregion of Clare Valley, created as the pinnacle expression of Pikes’ vineyard. Named for co-founder Edgar Walter Pike, it is produced only in exceptional years and delivers depth, elegance and regional character.

Blackberry, dark plum and blueberry aromas are layered with violet, black pepper, liquorice, cocoa and refined cedary oak. The palate is concentrated yet composed, with dense dark fruit, savoury spice and polished acidity wrapped in fine, persistent tannins, finishing long, powerful and impressively graceful.

Decant Pikes The E.W.P. 2023 Reserve Shiraz for slow-roasted lamb shoulder, charcoal-grilled ribeye, venison loin or aged hard cheese. Its dark-fruit power, peppery detail and refined tannin structure thrive beside rich dishes, while its balance and concentration make this Polish Hill River Shiraz a superb cellar investment.
