LITTLE GIANT SHIRAZ 2022

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"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. 

The Barossa Valley is typified in the aromas of this wine: plum, red licorice, chocolate and mocha characters whilst the addition of spicier more elegant fruit of the cooler Eden Valley adds lift, interest and freshness. This is a contemporary Barossa Shiraz having spent maturation time in older oak adding subtle vanilla and earthy nuance. There’s softness on the finish while maintaining freshness and vibrancy. Pair with a porterhouse steak with peppercorn sauce."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Richly ripe and fragrant with dark berry, smoked game, cumin and cedar characters, it's succulent and weighty in the mouth with silky texture and fine-grained tannins. Generous and flavoursome with a lingering delectable finish. At its best: now to 2032."
