First Creek Wines' 2021 FCR Malbec is in the running for top trophies at the annual NSW Wine Awards Presentation Luncheon on December 10.
Judging took place at International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) in late November, with 16 expert wine judges tasting for three days and awarding 84 wines with prestigious gold medals.
The gold medal tally was slightly up on last year highlighting some great 2021 whites and beautiful reds from 2019 in particular.

"2021 marks my seventh year judging at the NSW wine Awards and my first year with the privilege of Chairing the show," Chair of Judges, Nick Spencer said.
"Over the course of nearly a decade being involved in the show, what has stood out to me is the incredible quality and consistency of the wines, which has grown year on year - reflecting the tremendous investment and efforts of skilled winemakers and viticulturists in NSW.
"A testament to this quality and consistency was the number of times during the show this year that it was almost impossible to separate two or three exceptional wines to determine the 'wine of class'.
"We know NSW produces wines that are up there with some of the best in the world, but this year really highlighted that exceptional quality across regions, varietals and style."
