About The Wine

The 'Scar Tree' Shiraz is named for an ancient gum tree that over looks the vineyard that supplies the grapes for this wine.

This vineyard has been farmed by the Knight family for 120 years, modern day caretaker Viv Knight makes the call on the best fruit each year to make up this reserve bottling.

It's not the out-and-out raw grunty power that Langhorne Creek is known for. It's is a more subtle, balanced and refined wine.

A much more composed Shiraz than typically comes from the region.

Additional Info

From The Producer

Tagai ‘Scar Tree’ Shiraz is our flagship wine. It is made with a particular style in mind rather than any reliance on a specified vineyard or parcel of fruit. That said, all the fruit comes from the same vineyard.

Every year a selection is made from small batches of wine, made separately, which are blended together to showcase a unique Langhorne Creek style of Shiraz. The wine style is less reliant on power, impact, alcohol and oak. Instead a strong focus is on primary Shiraz fruit flavours using unique nuances in flavour and aroma that each vintage provides.

Aiming for spice and ripeness and most of all complexity. We hope you will agree!

Critic Reviews

DDS review

Red fruit, subtle spicy oak, a hint of mint and sage. Soft feeling bt ripped with tannin. Smooth glide of fruit, both red and black with a firm finish of very good length. Looks like a keeper. The balance of fruit and oak has been judged very well indeed. - Different Drop Wine Team

FaQs

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!

Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.

Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.

Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.

Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
