Description

Franco D'Anna and Sam Middleton have been great friends for many years, spending the majority of their lives growing grapes and making wine in the Yarra Valley. The two have enjoyed each others wines, bounced ideas off one another, and always thought a collab project would be fun. Jordan Lewis turned out to be the glue that brought it all together after discovering his passion for wine while honeymooning in Florence; he got in touch with the D'Annas and the partnership was born.

This is the trio's exploration of Pinot Noir from the Mornington region. A top-flight red from a single site in Mornington Peninsula. With the minds behind Hoddles Creek and Mount Mary in cahoots on one wine, quality and pedigree is all but guaranteed.

A little darker in personality than it's Yarra cousin; dark plums and sour cherries find their home in this wine amongst some earthy qualities. One to stash for a rainy day.

94 Points
"Sappy and earthy, baking spices, rhubarb and pomegranate tang, dusty and gently peppery tannin grip, slightly meaty too, with pumice stone tannin and orange peel on a finish of good length. Excellent."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

This wine is a blend from two vineyards on the Peninsula, one situated in Balnarring and the other in Merricks. The Merricks vineyard we lease and manage ourselves providing complete autonomy over how we wish to grow the fruit. Of the pair of DML wines we make, this remains the slightly darker fruited, more dense and savoury edged wines of the two. The nose opens with stewed plum, rhubarb and cherry liquor notes, along with spice, earth and other savoury complexities. The palate is medium bodied and shows flavours of blackberry, cranberry, baking spice and other savoury nuances. These flavours on the palate are perfectly supported by a core of tannin and well balanced acid that run through this wine.

94 Points - "Balnarring and Merricks. D’Anna, Middleton, Lewis. Cherry, earth, spice, almost a liquorice richness here, plus some gum leaf and mint. Medium-bodied, sappy and earthy, baking spices, rhubarb and pomegranate tang, dusty and gently peppery tannin grip, slightly meaty too, with pumice stone tannin and orange peel on a finish of good length. Excellent." - Gary Walsh (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.

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.
