We’re proud to share that both our Fat of the Land Ebenezer and Greenock Shiraz have received Merits from The Real Review. These honours recognise exceptional quality and true regional expression, highlighting the depth and character that define each subregion. A fantastic acknowledgment of our vineyard partners, our winemaking team, and the First Drop commitment to crafting wines with provenance and personality.

The 2023 vintage earns Wine Spectator’s Critics’ Choice Award – the sixth for Mother’s Milk and the fourth year in a row.

Mother’s Milk has now been selected as a Critics’ Choice wine in 2016, 2017, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 – including four consecutive years. Each award comes from a different vintage, a different growing season and a fresh assessment by Wine Spectator’s editors. Winning once is a mark of quality; winning six times is proof of a wine that delivers, year after year.

We’re thrilled to share that our 2021 Fat of the Land Single Vineyard Shiraz wines — Greenock, Ebenezer, Seppeltsfield — and our flagship Shiraz, The Cream have all received GOLD from Halliday, Vintage Wine Journal, and The Real Review.

A remarkable clean sweep that celebrates the depth, purity, and bold character of these Barossa sites. An incredible achievement for our growers and winemaking team, and a testament to the strength of the 2021 vintage.
