2019 Barossa Boy Little Tacker GSM 750mL

The Barossa Boy was once just ‘the little tacker’ to his parents, Helen and Grant. He enjoyed a free-range Barossa childhood, scrawling bike tracks through the vineyards and making plenty of mischiefs.

Our Little Tacker GSM is the ultimate Barossa wine blend: fruitful, fun and youthful. Like an adventurous child, it begins vibrant and full of lively fruitiness, then gradually reveals its underlying spice and complexity. Its deeper notes hint at hair-raising adventures, evocative of fearless and carefree outdoor days that stretched forever. To Trent, each mouthful is a reminder that every winding dirt path was part of the little tacker’s Barossa story, and led him right here today.

TASTING NOTES

Lifted confectionary raspberry fruit characters with some stand-out sweet cinnamon spice and hints of earthy complexity. An interesting and very complex combination of the 3 varieties. The palate is rich and silky showing plenty of the raspberry fruit characters associated with Barossa Shiraz. Subtle confectionary flavours and ever-present Grenache tannins are upfront on the palate transitioning to long earthy lingering flavours and tannins of Mataro. A well-balanced palate showcasing all three varieties in one complex blended wine.

VINTAGE SUMMARY

The 2019 vintage was characterised by a warm and dry growing period, resulting in one of the earliest vintages on record. While yields were low, ripening of grapes kept up with sugar development. Both colour and flavour of this vintage are exceptional, with bold wines the result.
