2022 Swinging Bridge M.A.W. Pinot Noir
95 Points
"It’s the crunch of red taut berry skin for me. This is blood plum, strawberries the size of your fist, pomegranate and then this underlying goji berry and hibiscus florals. Don’t underestimate Orange’s cool climate Pinot Noir style, that’s like comparing Gevrey with Volnay or perhaps apples with oranges. Lively acidity, translucent red berries and a slew of peonies and rosella. It’s succulent and slinks its way into your heart at a price unmatched. The MAW is the epitome of elegance vintage after vintage. Drink with joy in your heart."

2022 Giant Steps Yarra Valley LDR
95 points
"56/44% pinot/syrah. Fermented separately with some whole bunches (for the syrah) and a short élevage in seasoned puncheons and barriques. A very bright crimson purple. Springs from the glass with violets, cherries, raspberries and a touch of Sichuan pepper. A juicy yet focused and delicious mouthful with satiny tannins. The bargain red wine in the portfolio."
- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)
2022 Fighting Gully Road Sangiovese
96 points & Top 100 Wines of the Year
"Includes 5% colorino, an old Chianti variety. The wine spent 28 days on skins, then matured in Italian-coopered large casks. Bright, clear crimson colour; it has a delicious sour cherry, raspberry and black pepper blend, the palate harmonious, juicy, and as fresh as a daisy."
- James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)
2022 The Story Super G Grenache Syrah Mourvedre
95 points
"It's not heavy but it's so wild with spice and so generally captivating that it's hard to put it down. This is a cracker of a wine. Red and blue berried fruit flavours, black pepper notes, a mezcal aspect and flings of roasted nuts. It's ripe and robust, in a mid-weight way, but the real key here is that it's aflame with roasted spice/pepper notes."
- Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion)
2021 Head Red Cabernet Sauvignon
95 Points - Top 100 Wines of 2022
"Elegance is the feature of all the Head Red wines from grenache, to GSM, to shiraz and cabernet sauvignon. Balance is a sine qua non traveller of elegance; drilling down further, Alex Head's handling of tannin is masterful – as here, at 13.5% alcohol! That's meant to be impossible, but clearly it's not. Blackcurrant/cassis floods the mouth, and other fruits (plum the most obvious) join in."
- James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)
2022 Brothers at War The Old Man Eden Valley Syrah
95 points
"Puts beyond doubt the proposition that elegance and freshness can be achieved without stress or strain, simply allowing the fruit to express itself – red and black cherries to the fore – in a cool, late vintage. The win-win scenario is fuelled by the second glass: drink and be merry."
- 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.
