More about the Range

Winemaker's Reserve

The Winemaker's Reserve collection is the pinnacle of First Creek Wines — wines made only when the fruit achieves a level of excellence that demands a higher tier of treatment. These are not released every vintage. Each label represents a decision by winemaker Liz Silkman that a particular block, barrel or growing season has produced something worth preserving under this name.

The range typically includes Winemaker's Reserve Chardonnay and Shiraz, each sourced from selected Hunter Valley blocks with the soil composition and canopy conditions that produce complex, age-worthy fruit. Expect more concentration, more barrel influence, and more time in the cellar before release compared to our Classic range.

For wines of even greater rarity and maturity, explore our Single Vineyard collection and Museum releases. To understand the philosophy behind these wines, read our story or visit our awards and accolades page to see how they've been judged.
