Description

The Village Pinot Noir comes from Gareth and Rainbo's Monomeith, Little Creek, Scary Gully and Piccadilly vineyards in the Basket Range of the Adelaide Hills.

It's a lighter, more smashable style of Pinot Noir, the perfect thing to slosh around in tumblers with a slight chill to take in a Sunday afternoon.

It's Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir with no bells and whistles, just good honest wine made to be shared with friends and loved ones.

A blend of all our estate vineyards plus the Wilsmore vineyard in Piccadilly, the 2022 release is more structured and brooding than previous vintages owing to the late and cool harvest. Do not get us wrong, its still Adelaide Hills and is all about drinkability and the dance of the tannin across your pallet...perfect for pairing with nearly anything on the lunch and dinner table.

Vinification: 20% whole cluster open top fermentation for three weeks, but the blend includes some shorter macerated 100%-whole-bunch fermentation barrels. Eight months in French oak barriques and puncheons, 10% new.

93 Points - "There is so much joy in these Village wine new releases. Gareth Belton and family and cohorts really get that matrix of fine wine and drinkability. Champion wines.
Such a fresh and vibrant expression but even, elegant and svelte too. A pure and controlled expression of pinot noir that does fragrance, bright and distinct cherry-red berry fruit, gentle spice and pretty meadow herb and floral notes so well. It’s cool and even, tightens on gentle tannins, has depth but length and vim. Its such a delightful, everyperson pinot really. Joyous stuff that should be tried by all pinot enthusiasts. - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Gentle Folk

Gareth and Rainbo Belton are the Gentle Folks, both in name and in sensibility. They are gentle, soulful people, both originally seaweed experts, who turned their hands to farming grapes with an organic and sustainable approach. Today they are crafting some of the most legitimately exciting and exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Adelaide Hills and are firmly rooted in the upper echelon of Australia's lo-fi wine scene.

Their wines cover multiple sub-regions across the Adelaide Hills. There are no additions during the winemaking process, save for a splash of SO2 at bottling to keep the wines pristine as they travel from the Beltons' home to yours. The worlds of fine wine and natural wine collide in the Gentle Folk range. They are beautiful people making increasingly breathtaking wines that you definitely want to check out.

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.
