Sangiovese is one of the oldest known varieties in the world. This Sangiovese is a perfect example of this accessible, ready to drink style; perfectly medium bodied with red fruit flavours and a deliciously savoury finish.
The incredible 2019 vintage resulted in the the second release of Sangiovese under the Little Gem label. Beautiful aromas of plum and cherry with an intensity not normally seen in Hunter Sangiovese.
This release is all about vibrant red fruit deliciousness. An elegant, early drinking style that shows just how versatile the Tempranillo variety is in the Hunter Valley.
Winemaker Ian Little spent years of his childhood in Argentina and has returned many times to explore the wine regions and culture of what is a vast and fascinating country. Llamas is a fun project showcasing Malbec, the signature variety of Argentina.
A very welcome return of this beautiful variety to the Little Wine Co. Petit Verdot has long been used as a blending component it is increasingly being given the chance show its true colours as a varietal wine.
They say Barbera is the most food friendly variety in the world. We agree - with its plush fruit characters of currants and blackberries and its soft, supple tannins this is a wine that is dangerously more-ish.
Originally an experimental field blend this is now a regular in the Little Wine Co stable. Grown side by side the Shiraz and Tempranillo were co-harvested and co-fermented. Vibrant dark berry fruit and a smooth palate make this a delicious, easy-drinking style.
It took an amazing vintage to produce the first ever Little Gem Tempranillo. In 2018 the warm, dry conditions producing berries with intense ripe flavours. Voluptuous layers of fruit and oak make this an intense, delicious wine.
2017 was such an incredible vintage that winemakers Ian & Suzanne Little decided to make a super-premium small batch from the very best fruit. Sumptuous and simply delicious.
