Grüner Veltliner is a variety indigenous to the northern parts of Austria, most commonly referenced with high acidity grapes like Riesling and Albariño. Its defining features are a wonderfully fresh green herb character, its zingy acidity and often a touch of heat, like white pepper or radish. This great bottle from the Adelaide Hills is typical of the variety, with lifted white florals and an intriguing note of tarragon, overlaid onto lime, grapefruit and honeysuckle. The palate is round but fresh, with a satisfyingly long finish.

Precious Little is a collaboration between two wine industry stalwarts, Victorian Marty O'Flaherty and South Australian Adam Smith. Theirs is a story of hard graft and passion, the result of which are these wines! Marty began his working career as a chef, before being inspired by cooking icon and bon vivant Stefano di Pieri, whose wine-filled cantina and restaurant in Mildura is known across Australia! Soon Marty had packed away his knives, ceremoniously torched his chef whites and embarked upon his quest. Working in Victoria, South Australia and Italy cemented his passion, and he currently makes wines at McLaren winery Fox Gordon, whilst packing as much time into Precious Little as he can. Adam grew up in the Clare Valley, amongst the vines. Despite swearing that he would never end up in the wine industry, life has a funny way of getting to you. Working across South Australia for some larger wine brands, he recently established a viticultural consultation business of his own, and focuses on Precious Little. His aim is to find the best (little) parcels of grapes and then transform them into amazing wines without any pretentiousness.
