About The Little Penguin

A Little Wine with BIG Personality

The Little Penguin®, the smallest of penguins, is found all along the coast of South Eastern Australia - from north of Sydney around to Western Australia, a habitat that also frames the best wine growing regions in Australia.

Like the charming and approachable seabird on the label, the Little Penguin wines are appropriate for any occasion. From a party with the whole colony to a quite night in the burrow, the Little Penguin enjoys nothing more than socializing and foraging for delicacies. Consider yourself invited to do the same with these delightful South Eastern Australian wines.  Great wines for everyday enjoyment, from the land Down Under®.

Alan Sargisian

Winemaker

Born and raised in Turlock, California, Alan Sargisian stumbled into the field of winemaking. After graduating from the University of California, Merced with a degree in Chemistry, Alan landed an internship in the wine industry. It was there that his new passion was unlocked. His interest in fermentation science made him want to explore the industry further, so Alan moved abroad where he earned his master’s degree in Wine Management from Bordeaux, France.

Alan believes that great wines start in the vineyards. “Having the right soil types and proper treatment on the vines is crucial to a successful grape yield. Once the grapes are picked and brought in, it is now the one and only opportunity to produce the best California wine of this vintage. My approach is to ensure the absolute best stylistic quality and consistency for our customers to enjoy around the world.”

Alan considers every day an opportunity to get better. He loves his work that engages all the senses, involves science, art, and physical labor, and inspires camaraderie through teamwork. He hopes to provide the next generation of winemakers with the same guidance and direction that he has received from his Bronco Wine Co. team.
