Little Giant Adelaide Hills Buttery Chardonnay 2023 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Background
Little Giant has become known for wines that balance generosity of flavour with regional authenticity. Their Adelaide Hills Chardonnay captures the elegance of cool-climate fruit while embracing a plush, buttery style that’s both modern and indulgent.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
The fruit is sourced from select vineyards in the high-altitude Adelaide Hills, where cool nights and long, even ripening seasons help preserve freshness and natural acidity. The 2024 vintage was mild and consistent, allowing for perfectly balanced Chardonnay grapes with vibrant fruit character and textural depth.

Winemaking Process
Hand-harvested grapes were gently pressed, with fermentation taking place partly in French oak barriques and partly in stainless steel. Malolactic fermentation and extended lees stirring were encouraged in portions to enhance creaminess and buttery richness, while a portion remained unoaked to retain freshness.

Tasting Notes
Golden straw with green highlights. Aromas of ripe peach, nectarine, and citrus curd are layered with vanilla, toasted brioche, and a hint of butterscotch. The palate is rich and creamy, offering stone fruit, melon, and subtle oak spice, with a smooth, buttery finish that lingers.

Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, lobster in butter sauce, or soft cheeses.

Story Behind the Wine
This Adelaide Hills Buttery Chardonnay is Little Giant’s nod to lovers of a richer style. The 2024 vintage balances indulgence with cool-climate finesse, delivering a wine that’s both luxuriously creamy and vibrantly fresh — a modern classic for Chardonnay enthusiasts.
