Description

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 price asked for the quality on offer makes this wine consistently stand out amongst its peers.

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.

92 Points - "Lime leaf, bath salts perfume, classic lemon/lime flavours. A little bit spicy, fine powdery texture, balanced crisp acidity, and a finish of good length, a little quinine tang as it goes. Good stuff. Approachable and lovely to drink." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

95 Points - "The colour is pale and the dominant aromas are of freshly-picked green garden herbs; it smacks of early-harvested grapes. Suggestions of chamomile and lavender. The wine is both delicate and intense in the mouth, finely trimmed and taut, light-bodied and refined, with good length and tension, finishing classically dry." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

    Classic

    Classic Clare riesling with lemon dominant citrus and florals, and the benefit of a little time in bottle to soften the acidity.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
