Winery: First Drop Wines
Region: Barossa Valley, Australia
Vintage: 2020
Blend: Typically a blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Tempranillo (varies slightly by vintage)
Tasting Notes:
“The Red One” is all about vibrancy and approachability. It bursts with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plum skin, backed by a layer of baking spice, red licorice, and subtle oak. On the palate, it’s juicy and medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish.
This is First Drop’s playful take on a Mediterranean-style red, built for both casual sipping and serious food pairing.
Winemaking Notes:
Each varietal is fermented separately before blending. Gentle oak aging enhances complexity without overpowering the fruit.
Pairing Suggestions:
Great with BBQ, pizza, gourmet burgers, or even a smoky eggplant dish.
