An unvintaged assemblage composed of casks from 2022 (49%), 2021 (23%), 2020 (11%), 2019 (8%), 2018 (1%), 2017 (4%), 2016 (2%) & 2015 (2%).

"Fraser McKinley has worked with shiraz from the epic Hoffmann vineyard since the wine's inception in 2007. The Little Wine is a multi-vintage assemblage from 2022 (49%), 2021 (23%), 2020 (11%), 2019 (8%), 2018 (1%), 2017 (4%), 2016 (2%) and 2015 (2%). As always with Fraser's wines, the fruit purity is stunning. Ripe, textural and spice- laden. Macerated satsuma plum, black cherry and blackberry, panforte, pressed flowers, dark spice, liminal mountain herbs and charcuterie. There is a beautiful flow and density to the fruit here, toothsome, layered and concentrated but fresh in the mouth with fine gravelly tannins as its base. Detail is the key here, the wine finishing long and true." 96 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
