"Richly fruited and instantly appealing, the wine shows blackberry, sweet plum, fragrant spice and floral notes, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate offering excellent concentration and persistency. Plump and mouthfilling with plenty of delectable flavours. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2021
A varietal Malbec with a deep red colour in the glass. Dark berry aromas complemented by faint floral notes and a subtle tobacco influence that is so typical of the variety. The palate is bursting with juicy black fruits, a hint of cola and a soft easy-going tannin structure making it perfect for any kind of chargrilled meats.
If 2020 was all about the heat, then 2021 will be remembered as the wet season. In many parts of Australia, it was unseasonably wet in winter but not at critical times to do damage nor impact the resultant ripeness of the grapes. A cool and dry summer meant even ripening was achieved between dry and rainy spells and the ensuing fruit quality was excellent and for once yields were up making for a bumper harvest in 2021.
Machine harvested before grape sorting, in vineyard and winery, and complete de-stemming. Fermented in open stainless steel tanks at a cool temperature with hand plunging for seven to ten days. Primarily matured in stainless steel with around 20% matured in seasoned French oak.
The southern hairy-nose wombat is smaller than other wombats but is stocky, robust and the proud state emblem of South Australia. Like the might of the little wombat, Little Giant is crafted from premium regional South Australian fruit from established vineyards that deliver character and interest well above their size and weight. Hand-crafted and made with minimal additions and preservatives, these are wines made of the vineyard. The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness, minimally handled in the winery and fruit vibrancy is not hidden by non-essential artefact. Seeking first and foremost fruit expression, drinkability and to be a great accompaniment to food. Don’t let the size fool you, these are wines you’ll want to drink.
