FIRST DROP MOTHERS MILK SHIRAZ 750 ml

Discover the bold allure of First Drop Mothers Milk Shiraz, a standout red from South Australia's renowned vineyards. This Shiraz captures the essence of its origin in every pour, revealing a striking garnet red shade accented by purple tones that promise depth and intrigue.

Let the aromas draw you in first—a layered bouquet where dark cherry and blackberry dominate, subtly woven with earthy forest floor notes and a whisper of spice. On the palate, it unfolds with lively dark cherry and blackberry flavors, touched by an unconventional hint reminiscent of wombat rolled in allspice. The experience builds to a balanced, textured mouthfeel, where soft and supple tannins provide a seamless finish.

Elevated by Wine Spectator's 92 points and ranking at #26 on their Top 100 Wines of 2022, this wine earns its praise through a complex, juicy profile. Polished tannins frame a core of fresh cherry and acai berry, brightened by dried rose petal, sandalwood, salted dark chocolate, and fresh tobacco nuances. White pepper adds a spark, while a firming malty Assam black tea note lingers invitingly. Best enjoyed now, it drinks with vibrant energy.

Picture pairing it with a hearty rump steak smothered in mushroom sauce, flanked by crispy chips and a fresh salad. The wine's structure complements the richness, cutting through savoriness while enhancing every bite. At 14.50% ABV in a standard 750 ml bottle, its dry profile (sweetness level 01) suits those who appreciate a Shiraz with poise and personality.

For enthusiasts seeking an Australian red that delivers complexity without overwhelming, First Drop Mothers Milk Shiraz stands ready to elevate your collection. Its South Australian roots shine through in a bottle that's as memorable as it is approachable, perfect for dinners or quiet evenings unwinding with flavor.
