About The Wine
The First Run Riesling hails from the Sevenhill vineyard in the dress cirle of the Clare Valley.
The First Run was the first wine made by this trio back in 2005 and remains one of their most popular.
It's a wine that shows beautifully as a young wine, blessed with sweet blossom aromas and fresh-cut cirtus.
The 2020 vintage won four trophies at the highly competitive Clare Valley wine show proving it stands out for quality amongst its peers.
About Naked Run Wines
What started as a hobbie project for three friends (Steven Baraglia, Jayme Wood, Brad Currie) in 2005 has blossomed into a full-time gig at Naked Run.
Naked Run make vino from the Clare Valley and Barossa Valley, focusing on the region's hero varieties for their excellent value range.
Steven does the winemaking, Brad runs the vineyards and Jayme looks after the sales and marketing side of the business. They are picking up plenty of awards at the moment and are well worth a look - putting a fresh face on some regional staples.

From The Producer
The Naked Run Clare Valley Riesling was named ‘The First’ as it is the first wine produced under the Naked Run Label. Made from 100% Clare Valley free run juice, the fruit is sourced from a single vineyard located at Sevenhill in the heart of the Clare Valley. The vineyard is situated 475 metres above sea level, a relatively cool site for the region. The vines are grown on red-grey loam over sandstone and slate/shale subsoil which produces minerality within the wine.
The fruit is machine harvested at night when the fruit was at its coolest, and processed as quickly as possible to minimise skin contact. It is pressed, cold settled for 3 days then racked for fermentation. The wine is fermented around 15oC until dry then stabilized, left on yeast lees for 3 months, followed by filtering and bottling.
Blend : Riesling (100%)
ABV : 11.50%

Critic Reviews
Four Trophies - (2020 Clare Valley Wine Show)
"The 2020 Naked Run Riesling ‘The First’ is pale yellow straw in colour with green tints. It displays delicate floral, perfume and bath salt aromas. The palate is dominated by lemon and limes with a steely acid backbone which will allow this wine, any vintage to age elegantly for many years to come." - Naked Run Wines

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 1300 668 385 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
