Description

It's not often you see a blend of Syrah and Nebbiolo, but the Fetherston Sakura delivers marvellously. It is rich and perfumed, with delightful aromas of cherries, plum, spice and leather. Both the Syrah and Nebbiolo present ripe and juicy flavours, complementing each other and creating a complex drop that is utterly delicious.

Fruit for the Fetherston Sakura Syrah Nebbiolo was sourced from the Malakoff Estate in the Pyrenees region, a site with a superb reputation for its fruit. The Syrah and Nebbiolo were each fermented separately, both with wild yeasts, the Syrah in large-format oak, the Nebb with carbonic maceration, creating a wonderful interplay between fruitiness, savouriness and spice.

VINEYARD: Malakoff Estate, Landsborough (Pyrenees), Victoria


WINEMAKING: Single vineyard Syrah (50%) Nebbiolo (50%) from the acclaimed Malakoff Estate Vineyard. The Syrah was machine-harvested via selective harvester on the 21st of March. Wild-fermented in large format French oak (3,500l) and pressed off skins after 14 days to neutral French barriques and puncheons. The Nebbiolo was hand-picked on 27th of April. Fermented wild under carbonic conditions for two weeks, before being destemmed via optical sorter, and saw another 14 days on skins prior to pressing. The Nebbiolo spent four months in neutral barriques prior to blending and bottling in August 2021.


TASTING NOTES: Deep ruby in colour, this charismatic wine is beautifully perfumed with aromas of cherry pie, plum paste, leather and allspice. The palate offers the yin and yang of silky sweetness and taut, earthy savouriness, woven with blood plum and slate. A web of fine tannins carry through the savoury finish.

92 Points - "It’s all made with Pyrenees-region fruit, from the Malakoff vineyard.
It’s a really lovely wine to drink. Step right up, Thunderbirds are go here. Cherry-berry flavours with musk and sweet spice around the edges. Has flow, has acid, has fruit and has lift. Shape is good too. Medium in weight, at most, in a good way. No hesitation." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

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.

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.
