View Tasting Notes
SLURPY, SAVOURY AND TEXTURED - SO DRINK UP!!
COLOUR
Garnet red with purple hues
BOUQUET
A complex nose of dark cherry and blackberry aromas with a hint of forest floor and spice.
PALATE
Vibrant dark cherry and blackberry with hint of all spice’ balanced with an even, textural palate with soft, supple finish.
CELLARING
Drink up, but also a 5–8-year proposition.
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.

from 19 reviewsThis 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
We discovered this Prosecco on a trip to the Barossa and loved it! It is now our go to when bubbles are in order and the delivery is always prompt and wine is always carefully packed.
Have always loved "Mother's Milk" shiraz. First tasted it at a restaurant, took a photo of the label and then bought some as soon as I got home that day.
What a great idea to present this wine in a 1L bottle.
Keep up the good work.
Wow!! How good is this Nebbiolo. Just a beautiful wine to drink and lovely on the nose. Not to heavy and not to light. Just right!
Great drop for cold autumn nights
