Description

This is the early-drinking Grenache-dominant-blend of notable natural winemaking domaine, La Ferme St Martin in the Southern Rhone Valley.

A joint venture between Guy and Thomas Jullien, the wines from this duo are loved for their freshness and vitality - eschewing the heavy-handed viticultural practices of many in the region and focusing on the health and biological diversity of their vineyard by farming without chemicals.

The grapes are fermented with wild yeasts, the wines sent to bottle with only tiny amounts of sulphur, in an effort to preserve all the natural beauty of their fruit.

It's a floral, juicy example of Grenache tempered by the spice and structure of Carignan and Cinsault. It's the kind of red that you can rip the top off any night of the week and knock back in tumbler. Unpretentious and totally delicious.

In 2004, these vines are the first acquisition of Thomas Jullien, third generation winemakers of the family, with the desire to make a wine easy to drink.

Gravely and loamy soil, in the municipality of Saint-Hippolyte le Graveyron. South exposure.
Soils worked mechanically between the vines, maintenance of a vegetal carpet between the rows.

50% Grenache - 25% Carignan - 25% Cinsault, vines from 20 to 45 years old. Yield: 40 hl / h.

In the cellar: Create an easy and digestible wine to make red drink to those who do not drink it. Vinified without any added oenological product. Manual harvest, manual sorting. Semi carbonic maceration of 7 to 14 days, aging 6 months in concrete vat. Bottled with a slight sulphiting, without sticking or filtration.

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.
