Pike & Joyce is a partnership between two long-established South Australian families, formed in 1998 to develop a 25-hectare vineyard at Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills. The Pike family has a long history in winemaking and viticulture, going back to 1886 when patriarch Henry Pike founded Pikes Dorset Brewery, and the Joyce family have been orchardists for five generations.
The vineyard, previously apple and pear orchards, sits on steep north- and east-facing slopes of gravelly clay and loam, planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Shiraz, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir. The vines are hand-pruned and hand-picked, and the fruit is chilled overnight in the Joyce family's cool rooms before travelling to the Pikes winery in the Clare Valley.
The wines combine traditional Old World techniques with modern Australian winemaking. Visitors can enjoy them at the cellar door and restaurant overlooking the vineyard.
