Winemakers Comments
First Creek Wines founders Greg and
Jenny Silkman purchased a parcel
of land bordered by First Creek in the
Hunter Valley in 1998, with great plans
to create one of the region’s leading
family-owned wine brands.
Respecting the traditional land holders
the Wonnarua people, who were
the first inhabitants of Coquun, now
known as the Hunter Valley, and the
area being rich in history and culture,
the Silkman’s set about realising their
dreams by combining both tradition
and innovation. First Creek wines
were first released in 2005 and were
recognised as a 5 Star Winery by
Halliday in 2010 and each year since.
Being Shortlisted for Winery of the
Year in Halliday Wine Companion
2024, is a testament to the Silkman’s
commitment, and the winemaking
prowess of Liz Silkman and her team.
Region Notes
Only varieties that produce stylistically distinctive characteristics of their origin
form a part of the First Creek Classic range. Here you will find great wines
that pay tribute to the renowned vineyards from which the fruit is sourced. To
maintain the integrity of variety and site, minimal winemaking intervention
practices are utilised, and the wines speak for themselves.
