First Creek is a Halliday Wine Companion Red 5-Star Winery. Shortlisted for Best Winery in 2024 and named Winemaker of the Year in 2025 it's exciting times for First Creek Wines. Chief Winemaker Liz Silkman is the only Hunter Valley winemaker to ever be named Halliday Winemaker of the Year, and the first winemaker to be named Hunter Valley Winemaker of the Year three times.
First Creek Wines' Limited Release collection is where we push outside the Hunter Valley's classic varietal story. These are small-batch wines made in limited quantities — often from a single vineyard block, an emerging Australian wine region, or an alternative variety that caught the winemaking team's attention during a particular season.
With classic notes of yellow and green apple and pear and hints of white pepper that flow from the nose onto the palate, this wine has gorgeous minerality that lingers on and on. Mid weight in the Gruner flavour spectrum, meaning its the ideal accompaniment to a vast range of foods but we love it with aromatic dishes and can carry a bit of spice.
A beautiful versatile white wine loaded with fresh acidity that gives the wine life and length on the palate. Our first Gruner Veltliner is perfectly delicate and refreshing. Ideal with seafood and chicken dishes.
