From Pikes Wines in Australia’s Clare Valley, the The Plantation Grenache 2024 is a refined 100% Grenache sourced from estate vineyards on the historic Polish Hill River site, featuring ancient soils that impart vibrancy and balance. Hand-harvested grapes from the cool 2024 vintage—benefiting from good winter rain and ideal summer conditions yielding healthy, balanced fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by minimal oak aging to preserve freshness and fruit purity. Committed to sustainable viticulture since 1886, this production yields a cherry red wine with lively intensity and approachable elegance.
Tasting Notes A light, bright red with juicy red fruits and subtle spice, reflecting Clare Valley’s cool-climate terroir. The nose reveals a bowl of mixed red fruits, with dried cranberries and cherry cola notes providing freshness. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and generous yet light-footed, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavors of raspberry and spice, leading to a clean, vanishing finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2024 The Plantation Grenache is celebrated as a staff favorite at Pikes for its ‘Pinot of Clare’ character and early-drinking appeal.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 30 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with char siu roast pork, grilled poultry, or charcuterie. Enjoy now through 2030, during which it will develop subtle earthy nuances.
