Los Compañeros, Spanish for ‘The Companions’, as Shiraz and Tempranillo do keep great company in both the vineyard and in the bottle. A delightfully balanced, versatile wine that will have you looking for a second glass. Any dish with Chorizo as a component will lap this up seamlessly.

The appearance is medium/deep red. On the nose red fruit pastilles with dark cherry and perfumed violets lift up from glass with a touch of spice popping out. Shiraz provides a mouthful of plush spicy/sweet fruit, whilst Tempranillo plays its hand by contributing a deliciously rustic, savoury tannin profile. No new oak here, so the fruit really sings.

One of the newer additions to the line up, the Los Compañeros is a blend of 84% Shiraz and 16% Tempranillo. Perfect blending companions, Tempranillo provides aromatic lift and a rustic textural element to the soft richness of the Shiraz. No new oak here, so the fruit really sings.

Pikes Wines is grounded by family. From brothers to sons, since 1984 when the Pike family first stepped foot on Polish Hill River soil and decided to make wine together.
