About First Creek
First Creek is an old family winery in Australia’s iconic Hunter Valley. The talented Silkman family of winemakers comprises of Liz, Shaun and Greg whose emphasis on careful fruit selection and rigorous attention to detail produce a range of wines that capture the essence of this unique place. It would be difficult to find a wine expert who wouldn’t agree that the Hunter is one of the world’s best Semillon regions. The style is taut, lean, super high acid, unoaked, and packed with a punch that unfolds into golden nectar of the gods after decades aging.
We’re so stoked to be the wine partner for foghorn_brewery 10th birthday celebrations during Newcastle Food Month! 🎉🍷🍻

Golden hour, a cool breeze, and a crisp glass of First Creek Vermentino. The perfect way to slow down and soak up summer. Best enjoyed with good company, a great playlist, and a well-stacked cheese board.
