Little Giant Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2025

Again with the wombats, little giant is a name given to them. Apparently. Also, the southern hairy nosed wombat is the state emblem for South Australia. Another fine value Pinot Noir, the team include a very small portion of whole bunches to enhance the complexity. Maturation is in large format oak. The fruit is sourced from the Limestone Coast and Adelaide Hills. Maroon/magenta, the nose gives us notes of warm earth, cherries, wild raspberries and wood smoke. Of medium length, there is a supple texture with good balance here. There is good freshness and energy. Perhaps for earlier drinking than some, the next two to three years would be ideal. Drink by: 2025-2028. (Ken Gargett,winepilot.com,Jan. 2026)
