Little Giant Little Batch McLaren Vale Shiraz Mataro 2023

The fruit here is sourced from a vineyard in the foothills of McLaren Vale at Willunga. Maturation is for around four months in large format oak, 500-litre barrels. This is a traditional blend which works so well from this region. Opaque maroon, this is an earthy style with notes of bay leaves, plums, dried herbs, delicatessen meats, licorice and black fruits. The wine has a supple texture, fine balance and sleek tannins, finishing with good length. Very attractive drinking for the next seven to eight years.
