First Drop Wines “Mother’s Milk” Shiraz Barossa Valley South Australia 2022

When we launched the Classic Collection BAROSSA + SHIRAZ was an essential. This Southern Australia region has some of the oldest vineyards on earth. Shiraz (know as Syrah in France and the USA) is king here. Expect bold wines with luxurious, rich fruit, that develop tremendous complexity as they age. First Drop make some of the best going - this bottling has twice made Wine Spectator's prestigious top 100 wines of the year list (they called it "amongst the world's greatest wines") and it's easy to see why. Seriously hard to beat this for quality under $30 from anywhere! 

Tasting Notes: Garnet-purple with a complex nose of dark cherry, blackberry, spice, and forest-floor tones. Bold yet balanced, it delivers vibrant dark berries and earthy spice with a textured, supple palate and lingering finish.
