Wine Companion
“Dating back to 1858, Mudgee wineries have been creating innovative styles of wine that have become iconic to the region. Otherwise known as Moothi, which is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘Nest in the hills’, get to know this wine region nestled in New South Wales.
“Perched against the ancient, rocky ridges south of Mudgee, the First Ridge vineyard and cellar door overlook the spectacular Cudgegong Valley – an excellent vista to enjoy one of their single vineyard, premium range wines paired with cheese and olives. Lap up the views at this multi-award winning winery.
“Setting themselves apart from competitors, First Ridge is exclusively single vineyard and only produces Italian varitals, honing their craft and presenting a unique offering in the Mudgee region. The volcanic soils, warm days and cool nights in Summer and Spring prolong ripening and produce the vineyard’s grapes with balanced acidity and rich flavours, ideal for prosecco, pinot grigio, fiano and other Italian varietals.”
