LITTLE GIANT
Good things come in small packages
Like the might of the little wombat, Little Giant is crafted from premium regional fruit from established South Australian vineyards that deliver character and interest well above their size and weight.
These wines are hand-crafted, made with minimal additions and are the expression of the vineyard. Grapes are picked at optimal ripeness, minimally handled in the winery and produced into range of full, flavoursome wines that deliver on taste, quality and experience.
Little Giant has recently launched a natural wine range, L.G.F (Little Giant Free). Natural, organic, biodynamic and certified sustainable, these wines have been exclusively sourced from a single estate vineyard in McLaren Vale.

All the benefits of wine.... without the alcohol
Plus & Minus is a contemporary range of wines developed to be richer in antioxidants, minus the alcohol. They are thoughtfully hand-crafted to support the growth in consumers seeking wines more tailored to their lifestyle.
These zero alcohol wines have been handmade without the use of any artificial sweeteners but do see the addition of grape skin extract (GSE) during the winemaking process to deliver more of those antioxidant benefits already found in red wine. The Plus & Minus wines have also extended to include a Prosecco can and a premium wine range, sourcing high quality grapes from Adelaide Hills.

Pinchgut is a dark at heart rum, aged with rich spices of cinnamon, spiced nutmeg and toffee vanilla. Matured in barrel for over 2 years, the palate showcases depth and richness, together with a smooth complexity of toasted vanilla, orange peel and cinnamon. Rich on the mid-palate with maple that is mouth-watering and lifted spice finish.
Of the many dark stories from the troubled time of 1798, none is more notorious than that of convict Francis Morgan, who was executed on Pinchgut Island and his skeleton then left to hang for four years. According to folklore, knowing his fate, Morgan told the hangman he was consoled by what would be his magnificent view of the harbour.
