More about Little Giant Find a stockist Grape Variety: 100% Monterpulciano
Montepulciano Region: Barossa Valley
Winemaker: Corey Ryan & Nicholas Crampton
Closure: Screwcap
Alcohol: 13.5%
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.

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: Single estate fruit was picked in the cool of the morning to retain freshness, the fruit is de-stemmed and fermented in open top fermenters. The wine then spent six months in 10% new French oak barrels and the rest in older oak. This helped build structure whilst softening the palate and develop flavour complexity without overt extraction of oak characters Vintage 2024: The 2024 Barossa Valley vintage saw below-average winter and spring rainfall, with an early budburst in September. Frosts in September and October impacted yields in some vineyards, but timely November and December rains, along with cooler conditions, allowed the vines to recover and flourish. Most varieties were harvested before the end of March, with overall quality high despite variable yields. Tasting Note: We love to call this the Little Batch of ‘Monte’. Fabulously ripe and fragrant, the bouquet presents dark plum, raspberry, floral, and subtle spice aromas, leading to a succulent palate that offers excellent weight and a plump mouthfeel. Splendidly structured by polished tannins, making it robust yet silky and flavoursome. The below information is available for stockists of this product.

Winemaking: Sourced from a vineyard on the Western Boundary of the Barossa Valley, famous for growing rich and well-structured wines. Matured for 4 months in 300 litre hogshead barrels before being blended and bottled. Vintage 2023: The 2023 vintage in the Barossa Valley was heavily influenced by La Niña, bringing an exceptionally wet spring with October rains followed by over 150mm in November, well above the average. This led to vigorous vine growth and large crops, resembling triffid-like canopies. A dry December provided some relief, but disease pressure required careful preventative sprays. Harvest extended unusually late, with some picking continuing into May—a rarity for the region. Tasting Note: The Little Giant Little Batch Barossa Cabernet Malbec is rich and full-bodied, showcasing vibrant aromas of dark berries, cassis and violet.

More about Little Giant Find a stockist Grape Variety: Grenache 75%, Tempranillo 25%
Region: Barossa Valley
Winemaker: Nicholas Crampton Closure: Screwcap Alcohol: 14.5% Pack Size: 6 Bottle Pack

Winemaking: The Grenache is a blend of two vineyards, one from Rowland Flat and the other from Vine Vale. Rowland Flat provides the structure, Vine Vale on sands provides the aromatics. The Tempranillo is sourced from Light Pass from a 25-year-old vineyard. All of the wine was matured in large oak barrels 500 litre capacity for 15 months prior to being blended and bottled. Vintage 2022: In 2022 the Barossa experienced outstanding growing conditions. Harvest started approximately 2 weeks later than the past 10 year average with Shiraz being picked mid to late March. A wet spring provided optimal soil moisture throughout the harvest months, spring storms resulted in lower than usual fruit set and although yields were lower the quality was high. Mild summer temperatures facilitated a long and slow ripening period which resulted in optimum colour development and balance between fruit flavour and tannin. Tasting Note: Fruit forward juicy grenache is complemented by the distinctive tannins of Tempranillo making for a very approachable blend. The two varieties work seamlessly together, the Grenache provides spice and aromatic lift, while the Tempranillo ensures savoury characters and textural complexity to the palate.

Despite lower crops the quality was high and the best examples are shining. Tasting Note: The brooding Malbec is softened by the addition of juicy Shiraz. Bright, thick skinned and slightly tannic Malbec is enhanced by a judicious splash of fragrant, blue and red berried spicy Shiraz.

A small component of the blend is cool distilled whilst another undergoes ultra-membrane filtration.

The wine post fermentation & blending spends the following three months maturing in stainless steel and 25% in second-use oak before bottling. Vintage 2021: One of the best vintages in the last decade for the Barossa in 2021 with vignerons ecstatic with the quality of the fruit.

More about Little Giant Find a stockist Grape Variety: 100% Grenache
Region: McLaren Vale Winemaker: Corey Ryan & Jim Zerella 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.

Winemaking: Little Giant Grenache was crafted from a combination of older and younger vine Grenache vineyards within Seaview and Willunga. Small 3-5 tonne batches of high quality hand-picked fruit were fermented separately in open top fermenters. Minimal daily plunging ensued to gently build colour and the tannin profile without over extraction before being transferred partially to older oak and the remainder to stainless steel tank for maturation prior to blending and bottling. Vintage 2024: The 2024 vintage in McLaren Vale began with nearly double the average June rainfall, setting up healthy soil moisture ahead of a dry, warm start to the season. A mild winter and spring led to early flowering, though significant rain in November and December required careful vineyard management. The dry harvest period provided ideal ripening conditions, with strong varietal expression across all red varieties. Tasting Note: The Little Giant Grenache is vibrant and juicy, bursting with red cherry, raspberry, and hints of wild strawberry.

Little Giant Little Wine Red Blend 375ml (12pk)
More about Little Giant Find a stockist Grape Variety: Shiraz, Mataro
Region: Australia
Winemaker: Corey Ryan
Closure: Cork Alcohol: 14.5% Pack Size: 12 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 artifact. 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: Small 3-5 tonne batches of high quality hand-picked fruit were fermented separately in open top fermenters. Minimal daily plunging ensued to gently build colour and the tannin profile without over extraction before being transferred partially to older oak and the remainder to stainless steel tank for maturation prior to blending and bottling. Vintage 2021: The first of the consecutive La Nina seasons brought much welcomed rain over the winter and spring months, filling up dehydrated soil profiles after consequtive years of drought. The season continued in providing a mild spring and summer. The cooler than average weather during harvest resulted in a longer ripening period which facilitated fragrant and elegant fruits in red wines and a seamless acid and tannin balance. Tasting Note: Short in stature and thick in the trunk - just like the wombat - old vines are rare and therefore coveted in the wine world. These old giants are renowned for producing superb fruit but in smaller quantities. Hence this very special “Little Wine”, a blend of Malbec, Shiraz and Grenache all sourced from old vine vineyards and made in limited amounts. Soft, supple and generous this is the perfect wine for your next barbecue. The below information is available for stockists of this product.
