They say Barbera is the most food friendly variety in the world. With its plush fruit characters of currants and blackberries and its soft, supple tannins this is a wine that is dangerously more-ish.
Barbera is a versatile partner with food, it is great with pizza, but also with all manner of meat sauces and grilled meats. Savoury flavours and medium bodied with fine soft tannins.
This blend was pioneered in the Hunter Valley in the early part of last century and is currently enjoying a welcome renaissance. Elegantly structured, the blend provides a wonderful complexity with the rich earthy tones of Hunter Valley Shiraz with the vibrancy of Pinot Noir.
From from the historical Ben Ean Vineyard, planted in 1870 by John McDonald and purchased by the Lindeman Family in 1912. Some of the most iconic wines of the 70's and 80's were made from this site, so the hype is real.
Originally an experimental field blend this is now a regular in the Little Wine Co stable. Grown side by side the Shiraz (88%) and Tempranillo (12%) were co-harvested and co-fermented. Vibrant dark berry fruit and a smooth palate make this a delicious, easy-drinking style.
LDR is no secret code, it simply stands for Lovedale Road, the site where the fruit comes from and the original plantings for the De Iuliis family. Black fruit, mulberries, rubs of red earth, beautifully balanced. A classic Hunter Valley style of Shiraz, this wine is definitely one for the cellar.
Bright ruby hues with a touch of purple, subtle aromas of spice, pepper and savoury oak. The palate delivers the classic hunter hints of leather, pepper, vanilla and blackberries.
2017 was such an incredible vintage that winemakers Ian & Suzanne Little decided to make a super-premium small batch from the very best fruit. Sumptuous and simply delicious.
The flagship of Carillion Wines, this beautiful wine has a rich and complex palate of red and black fruits derived from maturation in French oak puncheons. Medium bodied yet intense, this Shiraz is approachable on release and will continue to reward with extended cellaring.
