Production

Only the best grapes are selected for Pike Road. They are hand-picked and hand-sorted to ensure high quality. Fermentation takes place gently in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape’s pure and fresh aroma profile. The wine is then aged for 10 months in 100% French oak barrels, adding depth, complexity and a rounded structure.
