A vibrant and lively Arneis. This wine is the ultimate summer refresher with its pithy citrus flavours and punch of nashi pear. It has an elegant and textured finish that leaves your palate alive, awake and fresh — exactly what we crave on hot summer days or when there's a plate of fresh seafood on the table! The First Drop Wines team will tell you themselves, this wine will have you push your G&T to the side in exchange for this zippy sip instead. That's good drinking.

There are some wines which are made to be puzzled over, savoured, and discussed… and there are those wines which are made to be drunk, enjoyed, and shared with your mates. First Drop Wines, one of Barossa’s most talked-about and rapidly rising wineries, deals very much so with the latter. That’s not to say that the vino made by best friends Matt ‘Gantos’ Gant and John ‘JR’ Retsas lacks refinement or subtlety - far from it, in fact. First Drop proves that Australian wines really are at their best when they straddle the worlds of sophistication and drinkability, and reveal heaps of flavour, aroma, and expression without leaving you feeling confused. How do they manage it? Well, Matt and John spend their time seeking out the best grapes grown in some of Australia’s most unique vineyards, and make their wines with a no-nonsense, unpretentious, and back-to-basics approach that hits the spot every time.
