Pat uses a patchwork of Nebbiolo clones from the Chalmers and Willoughby Bridge vineyards for this wine. There are too many to list here, but for the clone-spotters out there, they include CVT 230, CN 230 and MAT 1,3,5,6,7,8,9 and 10. They are picked and ferment separately using various methods and vessels.

A portion of the Nebbiolo was vinified as rosé, while the balance was treated like a red and fermented in a combination of stainless steel and barrel. The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso fruit (about 15% of the blend) hails from Chalmers and spent 20 days on skins in tank.

The individual wines were then blended and bottled. Pat’s thoughts on this year’s release: “It’s a delicious, bright, juicy wine with sneaky power and complexity. It’s going to be heaps of fun to serve and share.”

About Little Reddie

Pat Underwood uncovers unique vineyards in Central Victoria, from dry-grown plots in Malmsbury, obscure plantings of indigenous Venetian varieties or iron rich sites planted to beautifully bloody and mineral Nebbiolo.

His relationships with his growers are fierce, and he works alongside them wherever he can, sharing ethics and values on the land and in the cellar, with passionate intuition and minimal intervention.

Pat Underwood is the mind, hands and palate behind the charming wines of Little Reddie.

Pat takes fruits from across multiple well-farmed sites across Central Victoria. These are, by and large, vineyards and regions that fly under the radar. Well, Pat is making more and more people sit up and take notice.

He makes everything from classic, straight-down-the-line Shiraz and Chardonnay to more esoteric blends and naturally made experimental wines. These are joyful, friendly, charismatic wines from a young guy who shares those same characteristics.

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
