January Release |

Sauvignon Blanc |
|
| In typical Pikes fashion this wine is very clean and fresh with clearly defined flavors. The warm days of the ripening period are contrasted with cool evenings, due to the high altitude of the Clare Valley. This diurnal fluctuation prolongs the development of flavor in the berries and when eventually picked they contain the maximum of varietal impact...... |

| Ask Neil Pike when he last made a bad wine and his natural modesty will prevail and he will probably mutter something to effect that he is always trying to do his best and sometimes things don’t work out to please everyone. Ask any person who is familiar with his range of wines and they will be far more forthright, and state categorically that he would not know how to make a bad wine and that he continues to improve the quality of his whole range with each succeeding vintage...... |

| Perhaps its because their Riesling is so good, or perhaps Sauvignon Blanc is relatively rare in the Clare Valley, but somehow this wine quite often gets overlooked. This is a great pity because it has been a very consistent performer over the years. Again with this new release Pikes have maintained their high standard...... |

|
| Gary Farr’s Sauvignon Blanc reminds more of a complex Sancerre, more than a New World SB. Certainly there is bright Sauvignon fruit, with trademark grapefruit and other citrus and stone fruit characters. However, it has a leanness and richness that makes it particularly distinctive. Mineral notes add more interest...... |

Sauvignon Blanc |
|
| A blend of 76% Sauvignon Blanc and 24% Semillon. Beautiful pale green color. Lifted aromas of stone fruits, citrus and straw waft out of the glass. On the palate, those crisp and fresh citrus characters mingle with tropical fruits, as well as apple and gooseberry flavors and flinty mineral characters. Medium bodied, yet without being too intense. No interference of oak as its fermented in tank...... |
