The 2026 Little Reddie Mountain Fizz is a lively Victorian pét-nat made from Syrah, showing strawberry, raspberry and rose water alongside fresh mint and delicate floral notes. The fruit comes from a particular block at Dash Farm, where the eastern-facing site helps retain freshness and aromatic lift. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed slowly, with the finest juice selected before fermentation in stainless steel and older French puncheons. An early-cut Blanc de Blancs component adds extra length and finesse to the sparkling blend.
On the palate, it is bright, energetic and finely textured, with juicy strawberry and raspberry flavours supported by lively acidity and gentle natural bubbles. Fresh mint and rose water add aromatic lift, while the wine’s delicate mineral and savoury character gives the palate extra shape. Fermentation and élevage on lees contribute subtle texture and complexity without making the wine feel heavy. The finish is dry, refreshing and persistent, with lingering red berry, floral and herbal notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for pét-nat drinkers who enjoy vibrant, aromatic sparkling wines with fresh fruit and a lively texture. It is best enjoyed young and well chilled, making it particularly suited to relaxed gatherings and warm-weather drinking. Pair with crispy fried chicken, tuna crudo, prawn toast, charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, or grilled prawns with chilli, mint and lime.
