Pike & Joyce Wines – Two families, one vision.
The foundations for the Pike & Joyce brand were established in late 1997 with two long time South Australian families joining forces with the purchase of 22 ha of prime vineyard land at Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills. Planting commenced in 1998 and the first wines were subsequently released in 2002. Since then the Pike & Joyce range of wines have received numerous accolades and awards, winning trophies at wine shows both here in Australia as well as offshore. The opening of a brand new cellar door facility overlooking the vineyard at Lenswood underlines their commitment to the Adelaide Hills wine region and their vision to produce the best possible single vineyard wines that they can from this very special vineyard site.
ADELAIDE HILLS PINOT NOIR
Tasting Notes
Colour: Medium red. Aroma: Attractive aromas of ripe black cherries and strawberry compote backed up by classy French oak and some foresty elements . Quite complex and changes with every swirl and sniff. Palate: Although typically quite fine, the palate has excellent concentration of strawberry / cherry fruit and just a hint of charry oak that provides a little complexity. Fine tannins and balanced acid add some length and structure to the finish. Delicious.
Summary: Another really good wine from this gorgeous site. This wine should drink nicely upon release and improve over the next 5 - 6 years. Take a bottle to your favourite Chinese Restaurant and order the Peking Duck or bbq pork spare ribs .
100% Adelaide Hills fruit. Estate grown single vineyard wine. Closure: Screwcap.
