Little Giant Adelaide Hills Merlot 2021

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.

As with all Little Giant releases this new 100% Merlot sourced from the famed Adelaide Hills wine region of South Australia, presents a fresh, full flavoured wine that delivers a medium bodied palate that’s smooth and irresistible.

Dark garnet in colour, it delivers luscious red fruit aromas with dried herb nuances. Enticing ripe berries on the palate with flavours of dark plum, blackberry and fresh spices, integrate seamlessly with rich, toasty French Oak.

It’s Long on the palate with bags of intense ripe berry flavours finishing dry with clean acidity. Pair with barbecued lamb! sublime. 14% ABV
