Wine

Pikes Il Premio Reserve Sangiovese is grown on the rolling slopes of Polish Hill River in the Clare Valley. The vines run east to west to protect the grapes from the afternoon sun.

Fermentation occurs mostly with pure yeast cultures, though select parcels are wild fermented to build complexity. After several weeks of post-ferment skin contact, the wine is aged in French oak barrels.

Gently fined and filtered before bottling, it is made only in select vintages and limited quantities.

Cherry red, Pikes Il Premio Reserve Sangiovese has ripe fruit flavours, poised tannins and a fresh acid backbone. Cellaring potential is seven years.
