Tasting Notes
Yum-o! Pat Underwood has nailed the light red style with his newish release. A blend of Nebbiolo and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso that has a bit more volume and layers this year but is without a doubt an easy drinking red full of fun filled fruit. Loved it! - Chris L
Little Reddie is the personal project of winemaker Tim Shand, based in central Victoria. Having worked with renowned names in both Australia and abroad, Tim returned to the region to explore small-batch, site-focused wines that speak of place with honesty and vitality. The name “Little Reddie” comes from the creek that runs through the township of Castlemaine, where the label was founded.
Sourcing fruit from trusted growers across regions like Heathcote, Macedon Ranges and Beechworth, Shand focuses on varieties that thrive in Victoria’s diverse climates – including Shiraz, Nebbiolo, Chardonnay and more experimental plantings. The wines are made in tiny volumes with a lo-fi approach: wild ferments, minimal additions, gentle extraction and élevage in neutral vessels. The goal is to produce wines that are vibrant, expressive and immediately drinkable, yet with the structure and energy to evolve over time.
Little Reddie has become known for its purity of fruit, savoury detail and unforced style – wines that are both contemporary in feel and rooted in the traditions of careful, thoughtful farming and winemaking.
