Description

The Silkman duo say that this oh-so Australian blend of Shiraz and Pinot Noir was a Hunter Valley speciality about 80 years ago, and it's hard to see why it ever left! Fortunately, the mix is making a comeback among the new crowd of winemakers from the Hunter, following in the footsteps of Australian wine pioneers like Maurice O'Shea.

It's an effortless combo of the rich chocolate and blueberry flavours of juicy Aussie Shiraz with the red-fruited, earthy tones of Pinot. A vibrant, pulpy blend that lovers of either grape will adore.

Elegantly structured, this blend combines the rich earthy tones of Hunter Valley Shiraz with the vibrancy of Pinot Noir. This wine shows floral notes of blueberries and spice with undertones of cassis and dark cherries. There is a seamless mix of red and blackberry fruits with a hint of pepper, combined with a silky texture and vibrant acidity.

92 Points - "Lithe and slippery red that finds a good haul of tannin to finish things off. Bright with cherry and cranberry juice characters, dusty spice, a little mint and green herb shot through it all. Slides over the tongue real nice, finishes long and to a tight point. Lovely stuff" - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

92 Points - "Medium red colour with a modest tint of purple in the rim. The nose is dusty, earthy, terrestrial, even a tad smoky, pinoty cherries emerging later, while the palate is sweet and juicy at the beginning and in the middle, raspberry-like, followed by drying, earthy but soft tannins. Pinot is clearly discernible on the nose. Medium-bodied at most and savoury, the flavours dried off by soft, fine tannins at the finish." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

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.
