Rapide

2013 Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir

The Pike & Joyce Rapide from the 2013 vintage is a delightful expression of Pinot Noir hailing from the picturesque Adelaide Hills region. This red wine showcases a medium body, offering a well-balanced mouthfeel that invites exploration. With bright acidity, it delivers a refreshing lift that enhances its vibrancy, creating a lively drinking experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring inviting notes of red cherries and strawberries, perfectly complemented by subtle undertones of earthiness and spice. The tannins are soft and approachable, adding a gentle structure without overshadowing the fruit. This wine is dry, making it an ideal choice for a variety of pairings, from roasted poultry to savory pasta dishes.

South Australia

From juicy, full-bodied Shiraz and bold Rhône-style blends to deliciously buttery, oak-touched Chardonnay and surprisingly elegant Rieslings, South Australia is renowned for its wide array of crowd-pleasing wines. The key is the state's diverse geography and climate. With hot, dry regions like Riverland and cool, coastal areas like the Adelaide Hills, winemakers have an incredible range of grapes and styles at their disposal. South Australia is responsible for more than half of Australia's total wine production and makes some of the country's most prominent wine labels. It is also home to world-famous regions like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley.
