Pikes 'Eastside' Shiraz

Pikes ‘Eastside’ Shiraz 2023 is an expressive, estate-grown Polish Hill River Shiraz from Pikes Wines, showcasing the cooler, more elevated side of Clare Valley. It is vibrant and polished rather than overly heavy, with dark fruit, peppery spice and refined structure built to reward both immediate drinking and cellaring.

Blackberry, blueberry and dark plum aromas meet violet, black pepper, liquorice, cocoa and a savoury earthy note. The palate is concentrated yet sleek, with glossy dark fruit, subtle French oak and fresh acidity, while fine, persistent tannins guide the wine towards a long, spice-laced finish.

Decant Pikes Eastside 2023 Shiraz for steak frites, rosemary lamb, slow-braised beef cheeks or smoky barbecue ribs. Its rich fruit, peppery edge and refined tannins make this Polish Hill River Shiraz a superb match for deeply flavoured dishes, while its balance supports confident cellaring for seven to 15 years.
