2022 Kenzie Duet Pinot Syrah
The Kenzie Duet Pinot Syrah is a wine that sings, with beautiful balance between its performers; not a diva in sight.
Despite what you might think, a Pinot Noir/Syrah blend is a thing to behold. The earthiness and elegance of Pinot often goes swimmingly with the spice and depth of Syrah, such as with the Kenzie Duet. They work in concert to create a wine with no jagged edges.
It's a feast for your senses. Blueberry, cherry, boysenberry, smoke, pepper, rosemary, with firm tannins that will continue to see this wine age well and a juicy palate that will always deliver a flavourful drop.
2022 Frederick Stevenson Pinata
The Barossa Valley isn't exactly known for producing light and bright crunchy reds, but it takes innovative producers like Steve Crawford at Frederick Stevenson to push those conventions around.
In Steve's words, "this is the wine you just drink - smash against the wall - and walk out."
This is Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvedre from the biodynamically farmed Ahrens vineyard in Vine Vale with a portion of conventionally but sustainably farmed Grenache from the Hongell vineyard on the Western side of the Barossa.
It's bright and perky, a little untamed and loaded with personality.
The perfect entry into the world of Frederick Stevenson.
2020 Le Due Arbie Chianti Superiore DOCG
Le Due Arbie is the second label of the large Chianti estate Dievole.
This expression of Chianti classico, adds Merlot to the traditional Sangiovese, for a slightly softer profile and a rounder body. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in cement tulips, and aged for 12 months in un toasted, large format French oak.
It's a soft and juicy style, not overtly tannic, and ready to enjoy now with gusto!
2021 Mordrelle Malbec Lagrein Cabernet Shiraz
As the name of this wine suggests, the blend is Malbec, Lagrein, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz - with Malbec making up the majority at 50%.
Expect to find it full of a riot of black and purple fruits, violet florals, abound with a smooth texture, tannin and spice. It's all wrapped in a certain earthiness, too.
A really more-ish kind of red, and one that will go perfectly with any hearty meals.
2020 Living Roots Cabernet Tannat
If you like your reds powerful, concentrated and muscular, this is a fantastic option.
Sourced from the K1 Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, it shows these two varieties go famously together. Black fruits, herbs, earthen savouriness, and sandy tannins combine together into a well integrated drop. There's still a line of brightness in the wine, keeping all those bold flavours in check.
A great value red when you want something a little different than your average mid-week quaffer.
95 Points
"A bit of a wow wine here. Big and bold, fuller flavoured, concentration and power on hand... Amazing Italianate tannin profile, outstanding length, succulence and vibrancy. Killer wine."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
2022 Mada Syrah Nouveau
The modern Australian Shiraz/Syrah is a much different beast to that of twenty years ago. Thank the wine gods for the evolution of the style, as it's allowed for great wines like this to come into existence.
It's soft and spicy with a satiny palate caress. Just an all-round lovely high-toned, low-priced wine for drinking over the next couple of years.

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.
