Pikes Wines

"Perks have led us through all this with a level of efficiency and professionalism we hadn't experienced before."

"The Pikes Wine group has been a client of Perks Chartered Accountants since July 2000.   In the time we have been with Perks we have faced the challenge of developing a new business relationship, the introduction of a new tax system, as well as the challenge of sorting out many complex management system and individual accounting issues.

The proactive nature and forward thinking of the team at Perks has made us stop and think more about how we ran our business and as a result, we were stimulated to completely restructure our entire business, putting in place measures to provide timely accurate management information and to both protect and create wealth for the shareholders now and into the future.

Perks have led us through all this with a level of efficiency and professionalism we hadn't experienced before.

The team at Perks have always been accessible, personable and proactive in their service to us the client. Along with their financial management, they have given us timely advice on forward planning, financial management, insurance matters and succession strategies. The synergy between these two entities is a definite advantage which we believe gives us an integrated, professional approach to our business and personal financial management."

Further information 
Pikes Wines is a family owned and run business established in 1984. It has grown to 90 acres of Vineyard planted on red/brown earth over yellow clay subsoil and slate. The cool Polish Hill River is a genuine sub-region of the Clare Valley, ripening several weeks after most of the district. This gives the wines that extra depth of flavour and cooler climate edge. Varieties grown are Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet, Shiraz, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigo, Merlot and others. A total of 35,000 cases are produced with 25% exported to ten countries. The distinctive Pike Fish logo can be found on all Pikes Products.

Pikes pride themselves on making premium table wines that reflect variety, vintage and regional characteristics. Throughout their 15 years of winemaking they have strived to maintain this philosophy.
