Pikes
The Pikes tradition began when Englishman Henry Pike emigrated to South Australia in 1878 aboard the HMS Oakland. He settled in the small town of Oakbank in the Adelaide Hills and in 1886 established the family brewing business called H. Pike & Co. This name became well known throughout South Australia for its quality beer, soft drink and tonic ale, and the company used the English Pike fish on the label, which remains to this day -- a symbol of Pikes' long heritage. The sale of H. Pike & Co. in 1972 did not end the family tradition. Henry Pike's great grandson Edgar was well-established in the wine industry as a private vigneron and as a vineyard manager for a large proprietary wine company. His sons, Andrew and Neil, have both followed in their father's footsteps. Since graduating from Roseworthy Agricultural College both have become proficient in their separate fields within the wine industry -- Andrew in viticulture and management, and Neil in winemaking and marketing. Today Neil makes wines at the Polish Hill River Estate under the original Pikes logo. The winery is situated in the historic Polish Hill River sub region of the beautiful Clare Valley. On the eastern side of the valley our climate is considerably cooler that the rest of the region, making our wines distinctively different in flavour and aroma to the same varieties made elsewhere. Our Winery and Cellar Door has been renovated from an old stone shearing shed and our new administration and function area (currently being built) is being constructed out of local stone and will have the same feel to it as the other buildings on the property. Pikes pride themselves on producing wines of finesse and elegance that reflect vintage, variety and region. Visit the Pikes website.
Color: Brilliant pale green. Aroma: Delicate aromas of citrus blossom, pineapple and ripe pears with perhaps a hint of musk. Palate: The palate is fresh, crisp and clean with abundant to balance the mineral acidity evident on the finish. Drink with any fresh seafood. more
