Winery notes (2021 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.
Little Giant Shiraz is crafted from fruit sourced from select premium vineyard in the Light Pass region of the Barossa Valley. Picked in the cool of the morning to retain freshness, the fruit is de-stemming and fermented in stainless steel tank. The wine then spent nine months in used large format French and American oak barrels to build structure whilst softening the palate and develop flavour complexity without overt extraction of oak characters."
5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, January 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"Opulent and plush, the wine shows dark fruit richness, cake spice, toasty oak and mocha characters on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate offering plush texture and layers of velvety tannins. Sumptuous and delectable with a prolonged satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2038."
