Sip a 94pt Cabernet from popular, celebrated Pikes estate of Clare Valley, “From one of their oldest estate vineyards, now forty plus years of age... a fine line of juicy acidity, sleek tannins and good balance," (WinePilot).

Pikes is a family business with drinks - beer, soft drinks and wine – in their history since the family arrived in the Clare Valley in 1868. Pikes is a very popular destination and brand, as illustrated by its winning the Halliday Wine Companion’s People's Choice Award in 2022 and 2023.
