Little Giant South Australia Tempranillo 2024 - 6 Bottles
Winery Background
Little Giant has become a favourite for wines that are both approachable and full of personality, with their wombat emblem symbolising strength, generosity, and a little playfulness. Their South Australia Tempranillo 2024 reflects the winery’s ability to adapt classic European varieties to Australian terroir, resulting in a bold yet modern red.
Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
Sourced from select vineyards across South Australia, the fruit benefits from warm days and cool nights that bring richness to the grapes while preserving freshness. The 2024 vintage was kind to red varietals, offering a long, even ripening season that produced Tempranillo with vibrant colour, ripe tannins, and lifted aromatics.
Winemaking Process
The grapes were fermented in open-top vessels with gentle plunging to retain fruit purity while building structure. A portion was matured in seasoned French oak to add savoury complexity and balance, while the rest remained in stainless steel to capture vibrancy.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour. Aromas of dark cherry, plum, and blackberry mingle with hints of spice, vanilla, and earth. The palate is medium-bodied yet full of flavour, showing juicy black fruits, supple tannins, and a touch of savoury oak. The finish is long, smooth, and satisfying.
Food Pairing
A natural partner for tapas, grilled lamb skewers, chorizo, or roast vegetables with smoky paprika.
Story Behind the Wine
The Little Giant South Australia Tempranillo 2024 offers a modern Australian take on this Spanish classic. With its rich fruit, smooth texture, and easy drinkability, it embodies the Little Giant philosophy: wines with depth, character, and a touch of fun.
