South Australian Wine

South Australian (SA) wineries are rated as some of the best in Australia(*1). SA boasts beautiful scenery, excellent growing conditions, and a cellar door to suit all wine palates. In such a competitive market, only the best-become household names.

Barossa Valley Shiraz

On the flat valley floors of the Barossa, Shiraz heralds as the king boasting 53% of the grape yield in the area(*2). Full-bodied reds are consistently released thanks to the rich, fertile soil, rainfall, and the heat that pierces the region at the end of the growing season. This heat (that averages 35 degrees Celsius)(*2) stresses the vines slightly at exactly the right time, which results in highly concentrated flavours.

Little Giant

The Little Giant bottles are easy to spot sitting amongst 100s of different wines in store. The shorter, ‘stumpy’ bottle with it’s red or blue label was inspired by the southern hairy-nosed wombats that are often seen wandering the valley of the Barossa region(*4,5). Little Giant is a key part of Fourth Wave wine’s Australian portfolio. Fourth Wave distributes select wines from six countries. All brands are small, family-owned, unique wineries dedicated to excellence in winemaking(*6).

Our Little Giant Pick – The 2018 Barossa Shiraz

Little Giant may be a shorter looking bottle, but it holds a generous 750ml. As they say, “great things come in small packages”. The 2018 Barossa Shiraz(*5), with its distinct flavours is a top choice from Little Giant.

Tasting Notes

Blend: Barossa Valley Shiraz.
Palate: Perfectly weighted with really lovely plum flavours, quite a lot of dark berries, good oak balance, and a touch of spice.
Finish: Smooth, soft tannins round off this more opulent style shiraz.

This contemporary Shiraz from the famous Barossa Valley is one worth drinking now or cellaring up until 2025(*7).

We recommend matching Little Giant Shiraz with a nice roast beef dinner or drink it by itself as it is big on flavour.
