Little Giant Hairy Nose Pinot Noir 2024

I suspect that those who are not familiar with our various species of wombats may wonder what on earth possessed anyone to name their wine ‘hairy nose’, but what a wonderful tribute to one of our endangered animals. The only thing better would be if they added a note on the label to say that it is not suitable for imbecilic American influencers. From South Australian fruit, made with minimal intervention, this is a gleaming crimson colour with attractive and lifted aromatics. We have notes of spices, violets, cherries, crushed herbs and red fruits. Fresh, with good length and a drying finish, this is an early drinking style, but it is certainly delicious now and will remain so for the next couple of years. Terrific value.
