Pikes Shiraz Temp is a bold Australian Shiraz from Pikes Winery. It delivers dark berry fruit, spice, and subtle oak in a full-bodied package, with velvety tannins and a long, warming finish. A versatile red that pairs well with grilled beef, lamb, and hearty stews; best enjoyed slightly below room temperature with a brief decant.
