A CHARISMATIC AND FLAVOURED RED. GRAB IT BY THE HORNS!
A flavourful wine, this Grenache is a charismatic red with a dramatic mouthfeel. Notes of strawberries and cherries come charging in on a palate of spicy raspberry attack.
Colour: Garnet red with purple hues
Bouquet: An intense nose of strawberries and raspberries
Palate: An explosive attack of spicy berry fruit flavours, with a hint of Turkish delight, presented on a textured palate.
Cellaring: Drink up, but also 5 - 8 year proposition.

Let customers speak for us
from 41 reviewsVery drinkable red - not too heavy. Great with food or to quaff.

I have been a fan of First Drop Montepulciano over the years and the 2019 vintage does not disappoint. Very well balanced with great fruit and mouthfeel. A most enjoyable drop. (Pardon the pun)

Enjoying the fruits of the teams labour back at home. No pun intended. Lol

The wine has a deep red color, complex aroma and smooth tannins.

One of the Best Shiraz’s I have ever had absolutely love it 😍

Absolutely love Endless Summer

Delivery was fine look forward to receiving more cheers

Enjoying the Pinot Grigio very much. Great summer wine.

Such an excellent drinking wine
Not your everyday quaffer - something you bring out for your favorite people

The 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.

Excellent
I absolutely love this wine
The Matador is my favourite drop%2C perfect for long lunches or a pizza at dinner…
I love this wine! It’s a lighter style, but full of flavour - so juicy and fruity! Beautiful chilled too.
The Matador Grenache is a beautiful tasting wine very smooth on the Palat, I will definitely be ordering some more in the near future.
