The perfect wine with smoked duck, dumplings or smoked salmon. Cherry red in colour with a spicy aroma and tarry overtones. The palate is packed with fruit flavour with an earthy background, light tannins and soft acids finish the wine.

The incredible 2018 vintage resulted in the first release of Sangiovese under the Little Gem label. Beautiful aromas of plum and cherry with an intensity not normally seen in Hunter Sangiovese.
Deep crimson red in colour with dry cherry and prune aromas. Savoury flavours dominate the palate which is medium bodied and finishes with a firm acidity accompanied by fine soft tannins typical of this variety.

A kooky blend that really works! Two big varieties that come together seamlessly with aromas of cherry and cinnamon with balanced tannins, medium acidity and plush berries.
Barbera originates from the North West of Italy and Margan Estate Wines were one of the first to plant this red grape in the Hunter Valley. The 2019 vintage had perfect ripening conditions with dry, warm days resulting in beautifully ripe fruit.
The first release of Barbera under the Little Gem label from the fantastic 2018 vintage. Brooding aromas of blood plum and dark jubes. The palate is filled with delicious, plush fruit characters of currant and blackberry supported by warm, velvety tannins.
