Pikes 2024 Luccio Fiano

 

Meet a splendid summer drink at a very reasonable price point. Clare Valley vignerons Pikes - best known for their stellar rieslings - having been making wines using the heat-resistant Sicilian grape variety fiano for over a decade now, and they have hit the bullseye for refreshing drinking and compatibility with a wide range of food styles. Lively fruit flavours are the key to the appeal - the wine is unwooded and made in a similar style to riesling. It is floral and citrusy. Pair with picnics, seafood dishes, fish fingers, pizzas. Just about anything really. For those wondering about the name, Luccio is the Italian word for the pike fish. $26. www.pikeswines.com.au.
