Description

This is a unique take on Pinot Noir from Central Otago.

Typically, the powerful Pinot Noirs from this region are meshed with some portion of new oak. Jo and Tamra have other ideas.

The fruit was hand-picked from a small vineyard in Gibbston Valley, it was gently destemmed then sent to ferment in clay amphora. After the ferment was complete, the wine was pressed off and sent back to amphora for a slumber before bottling.

What you get in the end is a soft, seductive, beautifully textural Pinot Noir that is devastatingly easy to drink.

Both Tam & Jo have an amazing passion for Pinot Noir. It was this need to create great Pinot Jo & Tam came up with idea of MICA. Plus the name PINO was also the name of a sparkling drink they both drown in Italy.

An amazing sloped plot from Gibbston Valley, Central Otago NZ. Hand harvest, destemmed into Italian amphora for a couple of months for fermentation. Then pressed off back to amphora to allow to mature. Racked once to bottle. No fining filtration, adding only minimal Sulphur at bottling.

93 Points - "Tangy, spicy, red cherry-orientated fruit characters. Succulent, sour tang to taste, spice and silk. Good length, intensity, chew and crunch. A touch tart but the gist is CO pinot with some class. Has that skeletal, on the edge Gibbston Valley quality which some will pass on, but others get the gist of. Great to see new characters in the fray regardless." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    Great wine before, during or after dinner!

    Aromas of cherry, dark berry fruit, spice, forest floor and violets. On the palate, cherry and dark berry fruit, spice and savoury undergrowth. Dry, medium body, refreshing acidity, silky soft tannins.

    I loved it.

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.
