The Little Reddie Bootleg Red NV is a vibrant, minimal-intervention red from Victoria, blending parcels that don't fit into the winery's single-varietal releases. Crafted in a fresh, easy-drinking style, it highlights bright fruit, lively acidity and savoury character rather than heavy extraction. The nose opens with aromas of cranberry, red cherry and wild strawberry, complemented by hints of black pepper, star anise and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with juicy acidity, soft tannins and a smooth, approachable texture. Fresh red berry flavours are balanced by savoury spice and a subtle earthy note, leading to a clean, refreshing finish. Served slightly chilled, it offers a bright and versatile expression of modern Australian minimal-intervention winemaking.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday red for those who enjoy fresh, vibrant and food-friendly wines. Perfect with wood-fired pizza, charcuterie, grilled sausages, roast chicken or mushroom pasta. Enjoy young, lightly chilled if preferred, over the next 2–4 years.
