Little Giant Barossa Shiraz 2022

Little Giant Shiraz 2022 from Barossa Valley, South Australia, is a rich and robust wine known for its dark, dense profile. This Shiraz is crafted from premium vineyards, focusing on producing a wine that is expressive of its Barossa origins.

Nose: The wine presents bold aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with hints of dark chocolate and subtle spice. There are also undertones of oak, which add complexity to the aromatic profile.

Palate: On the palate, it is full-bodied and plush, with flavours of dark berries, plum, and a touch of pepper. The fruit is well-balanced by fine tannins and a rich, smooth texture, making the wine both approachable and layered with flavour. The oak influence is present but well-integrated, adding notes of vanilla and toast without overpowering the fruit.

Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark fruit and a hint of spice, making it a versatile wine for various occasions, whether paired with hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own.

The Little Giant Shiraz 2022 is a great representation of Barossa Valley Shiraz, offering depth and richness that is characteristic of the region. It’s perfect for those who enjoy bold, fruit-driven wines with a touch of complexity and structure. This wine is ready to drink now but will also benefit from a few years of ageing.
