First Drop

Producer website

Two young winemakers and business partners, Matt Gant (Young Winemaker of the Year 2004) and John Retsas started First Drop with the aim to make “kickarse” wines.

Young, enthusiastic and unafraid to experiment, is the hallmark of this vibrant new venture. Fist Drop is an innovative way to make wines, by not having vineyards or a winery of its own. Instead it sources grapes from a variety of grape producers and making their own wines at an established winery. The focus is firmly on “new” grape varietals like Barbera, Nebbiolo, Arneis and albarino.

Their style is to create a path between structured Old Wine styles and fruit-driven New World ones.
