Little Giant 'Little Batch' Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo (6pk)
More about Little Giant Find a stockist Grape Variety: Nebbiolo
Region: Adelaide Hills
Winemaker: Nicholas Crampton Closure: Screwcap Alcohol: 14.5% Pack Size: 6 Bottle Pack
Summary: 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. Winemaking: Grapes were crushed and de-stemmed then transferred to tank. Fermented over a ten day period with regular pumpovers to aid colour and tannin extraction from the skins. After being pressed the wine was transferred to oak for a minimum of 6 months. Vintage 2024: South Australian regions experienced a very dry growing season for the 2024 vintage. Frost, the lack of rain and poor weather during flowering has resulted in lower yields, however, the dry and consistent weather during picking resulted in a vintage of high-quality fruit. Tasting Note: A balanced and expressive Nebbiolo, bright tart cherry with exotic spice of sandalwood and cloves, tannins are sandy and fine. Fresh and full of bright character, whilst delivering power and intensity in an approachable way.

Winemaking: The fermentation is traditional (15 days) in stainless steel vats with a floating cap at a controlled temperature (30-31° C). The must then stays in contact with the skins for a further 15 days to optimize the extraction of the polyphenolic substances and help start malolactic fermentation. One year in barriques from Allier and two year in oak casks still from Allier (2000 lt). After a soft clarification, the wine is bottled for a further period of maturation in the bottle, the length depends from the characteristics of 2016 Vintage: Barolo enjoyed exceptional conditions in 2016, turning out wines that will be extremely long lived. Very warm weather in September helped with fully ripening the grapes and the vines remained healthy. Ideal harvest conditions for Nebbiolo saw the vintage rival 2015 for sheer ripeness albeit, with brighter acidity, more finessed tannins and a unique floral perfume that marks the better producer’s wines. A stellar year that will continue to improve in the cellar. Tasting Note: The colour is dark garnet with ruby highlights. It has a clear-cut, intense nose with overtones of roses, spices, earthy undertones with nuanced vanilla notes. The taste is dry, but soft, full-bodied, velvety and well balanced, and is very long-lasting. Classic Barolo like this works well with rich braised meat dishes or a mushroom risotto.
