Clare Hills Clare Valley Shiraz 2021 By Pikes Dozen

The Clare Hills Clare Valley Shiraz 2021 from Pikes Wines showcases the very best of the Clare Valley, where good winter rains and a remarkably cool summer allowed for ideal growing conditions. These climatic factors contributed to healthy vines with balanced fruit, and the long ripening period resulted in rich, concentrated flavors and vibrant acidity. This wine presents a medium cherry red hue and opens with aromas of ripe berries including blackberry, cherry, and raspberry, along with a touch of charry oak that adds depth. The palate is full-flavored, bursting with concentrated bright berry fruit, while the fine tannin structure and the freshness of the fruit provide complexity and a lingering finish. Ideal for pairing with grilled meats, roast lamb, or barbecue dishes, this Shiraz’s balance of fruit intensity and freshness makes it a versatile companion for a range of meals. 91 Point Rated Wine Showcase Magazine, and the previous vintage was highly rated by James Halliday Wine Companion.
