Six of the most delicious skin contact / orange / amber wines around. This is the perfect way to introduce yourself to this fascinating wine style!

  • 2022 Unico Zelo Esoterico
  • 2021 Maison Rigal Vin Orange Gros Manseng
  • 2022 Balmy Nights Amber
  • 2023 Konpira Maru Disco Pocket Riesling Vermentino
  • 2023 Jumping Juice Orange
  • 2022 Smallfry Tangerine Dream

2022 Unico Zelo Esoterico

A real cult favourite amongst those who've tracked the Carters from the beginning: the Esoterico is the wild child of the UZ range...

With Brendan and Laura's experience with this style of wine a little richer now, the execution of this skin contact white is on another level.

Supercharged aromatics from the Zibibbo, Moscato Giallo, Gewurztraminer & Greco, with a little boost to the mouthfeel from their old friend Fiano. They've certainly nailed this recipe, and it's no wonder it's become such a cult favourite for fans of this South Australian duo.

Orange in colour and cloudy as all get out, it lives up to its esoteric name but with oodles of drinkability. That's what skinsy whites should all be about.

2021 Maison Rigal Vin Orange Gros Manseng

A native of the Basque country in France’s South West, Gros Manseng is usually known for its powerful dry whites.

Innovative growers’ co-op Rigal offers it up as an approachable take on skin contact styles.

Though orange tinted, it's less savoury than you’d imagine. With the skins adding both spice and lush texture to zesty citrus and green apple, this is balanced, bold and bright.

2022 Balmy Nights Amber

The Freeman vineyard in the Hilltops region of NSW is a happy hunting ground for many young producers looking for quality fruit.

The majority Sauvignon Blanc component spent 16 days on skins, and the Pinot Gris a fortnight.

The final result is an amber wine that is very easy to get the hang of. Lots of passionfruit, some spicy jalepeno in the mix.

It's orange wine 101 from a great NSW label.

2023 Konpira Maru Disco Pocket Riesling Vermentino

Another delectably smashable wine here from the Konpira Maru lads - this one a blend of Riesling and Vermentino.

Two vineyards contribute to this number, both hold a special place in Sam Cook's heart. The Aradale Vineyard which contributes the Riesling was the first vineyard he worked in and the Merbein vineyard, owned by the Chalmers family, was where the Konpira Maru label was born.

The wine is fresh and clean with a gentle KM signature savouriness through the finish. Bright, crunchy and as refreshing as a cool swim on a hot day - this is delicious!

2023 Jumping Juice Orange

Patrick and Xavier at Jumping Juice have clambered aboard the orange express with this juicy, fresh skin contact wine with fruit sourced from the Riverland.

It's made up of Vermentino, Muscat Petit Grains and Zibibbo with varying amounts of time on skins, and just a smidge of sulphur added.

More importantly it is a bargain orange wine, bursting with floral perfume, and zinging like a well-made mandarin kombucha.

2022 Smallfry Tangerine Dream

The Tangerine Dream is one of the most experimental of the Smallfry wines. After sampling a few things at the Rootstock natural wine festival a couple of years ago, Wayne thought he might try his hand at making an amber wine. This is his eighth dig at the style and it's a beauty.

This skin-contact field blend of Semillon, Pedro Ximenes, Riesling, Roussanne and Muscat is the embodiment of Wayne's creative winemaking exploration, a left of centre amber wine for this region so steeped in tradition.

And quite simply, it is down-right delicious. We love it when winemakers broaden their horizons and just give something a go. Sometimes when you take a chance you can end up in a Tangerine Dream...

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.
