Description

Little Giant has built its reputation on big flavour and even bigger value, and this 2024 Buttery Chardonnay keeps that tradition alive. It’s unapologetically rich and smooth – the kind of classic Aussie Chardonnay that’s made for easy drinking and good company.

Sourced from South Australian vineyards, the fruit was picked ripe and given a good lick of oak to bring out that creamy texture and golden, toasty character. There’s plenty of ripe peach, vanilla and a touch of caramel, but it’s not over the top – just lush, round and perfectly balanced by a soft line of acidity.

This is comfort in a glass – full-bodied, silky and ready to pour the second you crack the screwcap. It’s not trying to be fancy, just delicious.

    Best buttery.

    This is a fabulous buttery Chardonnay. Very distinctive flavour. Very smooth & easy to drink. My favourite for sure.

SUMMARY

The southern hairy-nose wombat is smaller than other wombats but is stocky, robust and the proud state emblem of South Australia. Like the might of the little wombat, Little Giant is crafted from premium regional South Australian fruit from established vineyards that deliver character and interest well above their size and weight.

Hand-crafted and made with minimal additions and preservatives, these are wines made of the vineyard. The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness, minimally handled in the winery and fruit vibrancy is not hidden by non-essential artifact. Seeking first and foremost fruit expression, drinkability and to be a great accompaniment to food. Don’t let the size fool you, these are wines you’ll want to drink.

WINEMAKING

Sourced from vineyards located in the Adelaide Hills, planted to a mix of Bernard and Davis clone. Hand picked, whole bunch pressed straight to oak where it was fermented on full solids. This wine spent 3 months on yeast lees and six months in large format old French oak barrels.

TASTING NOTE

An excellent vintage although low yielding has produced high quality premium fruit, resulting in a classic Little Giant Chardonnay. Varietal Chardonnay nose of citrus, peach and subtle oak. The palate is textural exhibiting bold, flavoursome fruit well-supported by subtle toasty oak. A clean acidity on the finish provides length and drive. Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years. Pair with Pine Mushroom Risotto.
