Description
Henry Pike arrived from England in 1878 and first set up a brewery. Soft drinks and cordials followed then in 1985 brothers Neil and Andrew began the now very highly regarded wine business. The next generation (the sixth) now holds the reins after Neil retired last year.
“Fruit from Polish Hill River. A sleek and glossy sort of wine, but it doesn't lack distinctive regional and varietal character for that. Aromas and flavours of plum and blueberry are the theme, with a ferrous, earthy quality adding a more savoury inflection, polished by a light veneer of oak. Smoothly textured and fleshy, the clip of acid and tannin completes it well... 92pts” (Halliday).
