Description

With a few years in bottle now, the Montevecchio Rosato is displaying a lovely mix of fruity and savoury characters, such as red cherry, herbs, and charcuterie. The completely dry finish makes this a great match for many foods, and the wine can even be chilled slightly for enjoyment in warmer weather.

While Heathcote is known for its big and powerful reds, particularly from Shiraz, it also has the ability to make delicately fruited roses. Italian varieties such as Lambrusco Maestri and Lagrein are well suited to making roses due to their intense, fruity flavours when young and their ability to develop nice savoury characters as they age.

Montevecchio Rosato is made from a new blend of 77% lambrusco maestri and 23% lagrein. Two rare varieties from Northern Italy co-fermented to create a pretty pink, delicious drop.

Plush red fruit and aromatic spice with a rose hip and a lingering savoury finish make the rosato a good match for good company year round.

87 Points - "From the Chalmers family and brought to you by the grape varieties lambrusco maestri and lagrein off the Chalmers Heathcote vineyard. Exotic, but clever combo for rose. New label now (no picture, but hey).
"Rose water, rose hip tea, mixed citrus peel, pot pourri. Lovely perfume to open the proceedings. Juicy and crisp in the palate showing a fine offering of rose water and cranberry drink with a chalky-lemony finish. It’s a very simple wine, clean cut, a bit underwhelming in personality, but does absolutely the trick of pale pink wine refreshment." Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

94 Points - "Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, co-fermented blend of 77% lambrusco maestri and 23% lagrein. Light vivid puce, exceptional given the whole-bunch pressing. Intriguing yet intense flavours bring red fruits onto the same field as a savoury bitterness that has perfect balance, giving the wine the ability to marry with Chinese duck, pork and vegetable (especially mushroom) dishes." James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
