A lively Victorian Nebbiolo bursting with cherry, rose, spice, and silky tannins.
From Heathcote in Central Victoria, the Little Reddie Nebbiolo Super Juice 2024 is a playful, lo-fi take on Italy’s noble grape. Bright, fresh, and made for easy enjoyment, it shows off Nebbiolo’s perfume and tannin finesse in a juicy, lighter-bodied style that’s perfect for relaxed drinking.
Why You’ll Love It
The Super Juice is Nebbiolo without the fuss, youthful, aromatic, and fun. It delivers all the variety’s hallmark notes of cherry, florals, and spice, but in a style that’s approachable, energetic, and even delicious with a light chill.

Two blocks on the Willoughby Bridge vineyard picked and treated differently – one fermented in old oak, one in stainless steel. Vibrant-plus both in eye-catching ruby colour and red-fruited attack. Super juice, indeed! Brings the snap, the crunch and the tang of just-picked cherries, strawberries, raspberries and red licorice. Has summer drinking pleasure written all over it with its plummy, rounded, easygoing attitude and bright, sunny disposition. Jeni Port
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and subtle earthy spice.
Palate: Fresh and medium-bodied with juicy red fruits, savoury herbs, and gentle spice.
Finish: Clean and vibrant with soft tannins and a floral lift.
Food Pairing
An easy companion to woodfired pizza, charcuterie boards, mushroom pasta, or grilled vegetables. Its freshness and lift also make it a smart choice for casual vegan dishes like roasted eggplant or lentil ragù.

Cellaring Potential
Best enjoyed young for its brightness and energy, though it will develop added savoury complexity with short-term ageing. Drink now to 2029.
Collector’s Note
The Nebbiolo Super Juice 2024 represents the new wave of Victorian winemaking. While not built for decades in the cellar, it showcases the lo-fi movement’s charm: freshness, authenticity, and drinkability.
