CELLARING

VINTAGE
Above average winter rainfall initiated healthy bud burst and minimal irrigation was required as a result. Spring was also relatively cool & windy which lead to some prolific canopy growth in parts of vineyards but also uneven flowering, which saw lower yields in many cases.
VINEYARDS
Seppeltsfield in the west of the Barossa – 285m above sea level on clay over limestone.
Kalimna in the north of the Barossa -312m above sea level on red clay with sand and ironstone.
Eden Valley in the east of the Barossa - 460m above sea level on clay over ironstone and quartz.
VINIFICATION
The fruit is crushed, destemmed and fermented at temperatures ranging from 20-23°C for 7 days on skins. The ferment is managed by a variety of techniques, including ‘aerative pump overs’ and ‘drain and returns’ which assist in extracting colour, flavour and tannin from the grapes. At the end of fermentation, it is drained/pressed, and transferred to older French oak hogsheads to undergo MLF. Post MLF, minimal sulphur dioxide is added, and the wines mature sur lie for 10 months.

Let customers speak for us
from 26 reviewsThe wines were delivered super quickly so we got to take a couple on our road trip and they were delicious. Looking forward to enjoying the other 4 bottles over Xmas with friends when I’m back home.
I didn't like the previous Drag Queen rose as Cinsault Mataro was just not my thing. I was privileged to taste the new 100% Grenache when it was about 2 days old and even then, it sparked something on my palate that made me think I might very much like this version when it is released. Now that it's in the bottle, it is certainly has lived up to that expectation so much so that I have added it to my wine club order. The 2024 release is definitely a winner for me.
The Spring 6 pack has a great variety which is sure to keep everyone happy, it's also a good way of trying other wines which otherwise you may have passed on.
I will be getting another pack before they run out.
This is such a great wine to drink anytime, not just summer. It isn't sweet but then not super dry enough to have no flavour. This has plenty of flavour for a prosecco and is one of my favs from First Drop. Perfect with any of their tapas dishes too!
The Matador is my favourite drop%2C perfect for long lunches or a pizza at dinner…
It's simply a devine drink now wine from First Drop. Love it!
I love this wine! It’s a lighter style, but full of flavour - so juicy and fruity! Beautiful chilled too.
Such a great tasting wine. So smooth. Great flavour going down and a great after taste.
The Matador Grenache is a beautiful tasting wine very smooth on the Palat, I will definitely be ordering some more in the near future.
Great with food or on its own, just like in the Piemonte
Always a pleasure to drink & very affordable
