Pikes 'Homage' Cabernet Malbec

Pikes ‘Homage’ Cabernet Malbec 2023 is a richly expressive Clare Valley red from Pikes Wines, blending 70% Cabernet Sauvignon with 30% Malbec from Clare and Polish Hill River. Naturally fermented and matured for 12 months in seasoned oak, it delivers generous fruit, soft structure and unmistakable regional charm.

Blackcurrant, blackberry and cassis form the core, with juicy plum, mulberry, violet and forest-berry notes adding lift. The palate is plush and ripe, yet fresh enough to stay composed, with subtle oak, fine structural tannins and a long, smooth finish that makes this Cabernet Malbec immediately satisfying.

Serve Pikes Homage 2023 Cabernet Malbec with charcoal-grilled lamb cutlets, slow-cooked beef brisket, mushroom burgers or aged cheddar. Its dark fruit and supple tannins thrive with rich, smoky flavours, while its graceful structure makes this Clare Valley red ideal for drinking now or cellaring over the next decade.
