Product Notes

Pikes Los Companeros Shiraz Tempranillo is a full-bodied Australian wine that beautifully personifies the harmony of the old and new world. The Shiraz grape lends a robust, spicy character, while the Tempranillo adds a burst of rich plum and cherry notes. This ravishing blend, aged in oak barrels, unfolds a delicate bouquet of vanilla and mocha, layered with savoury hints of black pepper. Its sleek, silky tannins and vivacious acidity culminate in a refined, lengthy finish. An impeccable accompaniment to meaty dishes, Los Companeros is a must for those seeking an out-of-the-ordinary wine experience.

Tasting Notes

A vibrant display of red and blue jubey fruits, intertwined with five spice and cinnamon. Charry oak and some herbal characters adding complexity. Palate. The soft blue and red berry characters follow on to the palate. Shiraz providing a mouthful of plush spicey-sweet fruit, whilst Tempranillo plays its hand by contributing a deliciously rustic, savoury tannin profile.
