About The Wine

If you're on the hunt for top value wines from the Beechworth area, the Willem Kurt wines by Dan Balzer would be very hard to go past.

This Beechworth Shiraz is a prime example of Dan's ability to deliver high-quality wines at a very reasonable price. It captures two sides of Beechworth Shiraz, both the vibrant blue-fruited style and the more savoury, 'Rhone-esque' side of the region.

This is great buying and drinking.

In Campbell Mattinson's words, "It’s quite beguiling."

About Willem Kurt

Willem Kurt wines are sourced from various sites around the Alpine Valleys and Beechworth in North East Victoria. 

The wines are put together by experienced winemaker Daniel Balzer. The name ‘Willem Kurt’ comes from combining the middle names of his two sons. It’s very much a boutique, family-owned-and-run affair.

The focus is on Shiraz, Chardonnay and high-quality Vermentino. Pound for pound some of the best vino you will find in the Beechworth region.

These are bold and delicious wines which pack a punch.

The Wine Front

"There’s an ancient grains feel to this Beechworth shiraz. That might take some explaining. It’s modern, in that it’s boysenberried, black cherried, licoricey and floral with a fresh, energetic feel to both the fruit and to the acidity. But there’s also that underscore of clove, campfire, cracked pepper and woodsmoke; it has a bit of crunch, like the crackle of stones underfoot. It’s pretty, in a strong way, but not in any way thick or soupy. It’s quite beguiling." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

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 aiming to the best in the market already. For very large orders (weddings etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call. How does the price match work?

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 match it. We'll even retrospectively refund you if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.

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 1300 668 385 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.

Does Different Drop have a physical store?

No, not really. More of a warehouse/office. We do however offer a Click & Collect option from our warehouse in Ultimo, Sydney. Our warehouse address for Click & Collect is: F5A, 42 Wattle St, Ultimo, 2007

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).
