Patrick Underwood Wines

Pat Underwood first made wine in ’12 with shiraz grapes he’d picked from Jarad Curwood’s (Chapter Wine) vineyard. He fermented them in a barrel in his dad’s backyard and called the wine Little Reddie, a nod to both the barrel’s size and the redfin perch he’d catch in the local lakes and rivers. In ’15, he began to focus on Little Reddie in earnest. The range includes pure and expressive varietal wines alongside fun and juicy blends. Fruit is sourced from sound growers within Central Victoria. Launched in late ’23, Patrick Underwood Wines is Pat's premium project, built around varietal chardonnay and nebbiolo from specific regions within Central Victoria. The wines are age-worthy, refined and complex, in a more consistent, old-world style. -ANNA WEBSTER
