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.

From old vines in the Broke region, this is an excellent example of an early drinking style. It displays plenty of vibrant fruit with soft tannins adding length for a silky finish.
Sangiovese is one of the oldest known varieties in the world. This Sangiovese is a perfect example of this accessible, ready to drink style; perfectly medium bodied with red fruit flavours and a deliciously savoury finish.
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.
