Quality wine – Aussie Aces
Wine- Wine: Quality wine – Aussie Aces
Henry Pike emigrated from England and established a brewery in Oakbank in the Adelaide Hills in 1886. It took the family almost 100 years to set up their own winery but it was worth the wait! The estate is in the Polish Hill River sub-region of the Clare Valley north of Adelaide where the relatively cool climate makes forfresh well balanced wines – a great destination for stylish elegant Aussies.2005 Luccio Red Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon/Petit VerdotA real one-off; savoury Sangiovese plus pure Cabernet blackcurrant fruit and a touch of black pepper from the Petit Verdot make for a barbecue classic.2008 Luccio White Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay/Sauvignon BlancA stylish flavour explosion! Take the perfume of Pinot Grigio add a pinch of Chardonnay peach fruit with crisp clean Sauvignon and you are onto a winner.
