Little Wine Co Little Gem Pecorino 2025

With this version of Pecorino, the team were looking to bring forth complexity and texture, rather than just the pristine fruit which we see with their earlier style. 40% of free run juice is fermented on full solids by way of a wild fermentation in older French barriques. The pressings are fermented in oak as well, and contribute around 20% of the volume. The fruit is from a single vineyard in the Hunter Valley. Deep straw in colour, we have some crisp apple notes with dried herbs, fresh pears and a hint of apricot kernels. The texture is supple and seductive. There is a line of fine acidity and the wine does have good persistence. It can be enjoyed over the next four to six years.
