Wine Description

The 2021 First Drop Mother’s Milk Shiraz is made for drinking! Soft, slurpy and textured it is balanced with a fresh mouth feel and makes you go back for a second / third glass. Sourced from vineyards, in the Barossa & Eden valleys it is fruit laden, savory and dangerously easy to drink! It is matured for 10 months in seasoned French oak hogsheads to allow the fruit to express itself.
Color : Garnet red with purple hues
Nose: A complex nose of dark cherry and blackberry aromas with a hint of forest floor and spice.
Palate: Vibrant dark cherry and blackberry with a hint of ‘wombat rolled in all spice’ balanced with
an even, textural palate with soft, supple tannins.

WS – May 24, 2023

A compelling, fun red on a juicy, fresh frame, with smooth, polished tannins and fresh pomegranate and maraschino cherry flavors at the core, plus details of milk chocolate, nutmeg, white peppercorn and an appealing hint of toasted herbs and fresh earth. Reveals tannins that firm up on the finish, which packs a spicy kick. Drink now through 2033. 25,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.

2021 was a lovely vintage in Barossa—cool, long and with a return to moderate yields after two years of aggressively low yields and warm conditions. So here, the 2021 Mother’s Milk Shiraz is fine and detailed, with loads of plush, voluminous fruit, in keeping with the style of the wine, but it is imbued with a little extra focus and precision, courtesy of the vintage. Nicely done.

JS – May 24, 2023

Aromas of black fruit, pepper, dark licorice, and overturned earth. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy texture and fine tannins. It has a savory fruit character with some salinity to it. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
