The wines under the First Step range are the first to be released each vintage for you to enjoy their youthful aromatics. Crafted from select parcels of fruit from premium regions within South Australia, First Step wines are consistently fresh and lively with true varietal definition.
The Step Rd winery (makers of the First Step range) was built with dual goals; wine quality and environment protection. A 5,000 tonne winery its layout and operation were designed for efficiency and resource, and to be mindful of the occupational health and welfare of the staff, and the environment.
All liquid waste is stored in plastic-lined dams to prevent seepage into the precious water table, before being treated to remove damaging chemicals and salinity, then recycled as irrigation on the vineyard. Similarly, all solid waste of skins, stalks and seeds are mulched and returned to the vineyard to enhance and improve the soil, as well as reducing the irrigation requirement by up to 25%.
Step Rd Winery is not only the pinnacle of winemaking quality but is at the forefront in the conservation of the environment and that extremely valuable and diminishing resource - water.
