"Wonderful Value" - Dave Brookes.
In a relatively short period of time, First Drop Wines has gained a reputation as one of most popular, emerging wine producers in South Australia. Based at the ‘Home of the Brave’ in the Barossa, First Drop is making wines with flavour, texture and personality; from fruit sourced from unique vineyards throughout the Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale and Barossa.
Consistently one of our most popular examples of Barossa Shiraz, the First Drop Mother's Milk Shiraz is all about delivering enjoyment and great drinkability in its youth. Sourced from three unique Barossa vineyards, this is fruit-driven, savoury, with 12 months in French oak hogsheads offers depth and complexity.
The 2020 First Drop Mother's Milk Shiraz has a complex nose of dark cherry and blackberry aromas with a hint of forest floor and spice. The palate offers plenty of vibrant dark cherry, blackberry, dark chocolate with a hint of spice and soft tannin. Another delicious release of Mother's Milk Shiraz that will be embraced by the many fans of this wine.
"94 Points. A wonderful, plushly fruited Barossa shiraz packed full of vibrant satsuma plum and juicy blueberry characters, underscored by hints of maraschino cherry, Asian spice, violets, turned earth, roasting meats and a nuance of softly spoken oak. There's depth of fruit and intensity here, but also a sense of sapid juiciness with ripe, fine, sandy chocolatey tannins adding ample support. The wine fans out with a plume of spiced plum fruits on the finish. Wonderful value. $28. 14.5% alc. Drink by 2030. Screwcap"- Dave Brookes, winecompanion.com.au.
