"Our 2021 The First Rieslings is quite delicate due to the cool vintage, showing lifted floral and perfume characters, a great follow up to our award winning 2020 Riesling. We are trying to capture the vineyard and variety with minimal winemaking influence.
Sourced from our Riesling Block 3, this single block has been so consistent over the last 10 years. Planted to Riesling clone GM198 on red-grey loam over slate/silt stone subsoil. It has an easterly aspect with east-west row orientation and vertical shoot positioned trellis.
The 2021 vintage is up there with our best with similar growing conditions to 2012, 2015 and 2020. Being such a cool vintage The First 2021 has all natural acidity; it will be a great drink fresh and young and will age gracefully in the cellar." Steve Baraglia, Winemaker
Absolutely delicious! One of the best and what a great price for a top wine! Yum! The balance of acidity, fruit, dryness, length is just perfect - very refreshing and one of the best.
One of the best 2019's
