Little Giant Shiraz 2024 takes its name and spirit from the southern hairy-nosed wombat — South Australia’s proud state emblem, stocky and robust, and a creature that delivers well above its size and weight. Like the wombat, Little Giant is crafted from premium South Australian fruit that punches well above its station: Barossa Valley Shiraz lifted and refined by the addition of Eden Valley fruit from cooler, higher-altitude terroirs, delivering a wine of remarkable aromatic complexity, vibrancy, and modern style. Hand-crafted with minimal additions and preservatives, this is a wine of the vineyard first and foremost.
Appearance
Deep, vibrant red with the youthful intensity of a Barossa Shiraz from a quality vintage.
Aroma
The integration of Eden Valley fruit imparts remarkable aromatic complexity and vivacity — lifted, fresh, and expressive, with the cooler-climate terroir adding a vivid aromatic dimension to the Barossa’s natural depth and richness.
Palate
Modern in style and beautifully balanced, with nuanced vanilla and chocolate characteristics from nine months in seasoned large-format French and American oak. The palate concludes with a supple, mouth-coating texture whilst preserving the freshness and energy that define the Little Giant philosophy. Fruit vibrancy is never hidden — this is a wine that drinks with genuine drinkability and purpose.
Pairs With
Classic beef and mushroom pie, slow-braised lamb, grilled sausages, and hearty pasta dishes. A wine made to be a great companion at the table — don’t let the size fool you.
