Description

The 2015 season was great vintage for this top Mornington Peninsula estate.

David Lloyd has spent more than 20 years optimising the clonal material growing on his vineyard, for Pinot Noir the search for the perfect balance of clones as matched to site is never over. In an excellent vintage like 2015, the meticulous work in the vineyard has paid dividends for Lloyd and team.

The 2015 This is a graceful wine that received 95 points from James Halliday, one that rightfully lays claim to being a benchmark for the region.

Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir enthusiasts should buy with confidence.

Pretty red fruits, predominately red cherry with a little cranberry. The palate has beautiful balance & length. It begins with bright red cherry, moves to cranberry and a hint of raspberry on the finish.

Food Match: boned, butterflied and bbqd quail.

This wine is a blend of six different clones of Pinot Noir planted across our vineyard and harvested mid to late March 2014. The clones were blended at harvested and fermented using wild yeast. The wines were pressed in our gentle air bag press (see winemakers diary under the Cellar Door web page) and then aged in French oak barrels from a range of tonnelleries.

95 Points - "This is the flag bearer of Eldridge Estate, with the largest make in the portfolio (all things being relative in the context of the total annual production of 1000 dozen), an equal blend of the clones used in the Clonal Blend. The fragrance, balance and length are all in perfect alignment, red fruits of just about every kind in an ethereal smoothie, a dip of spice and forest floor on the side." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Excellent Mornington Pinot

    My favourite producer on the Mornington Peninsula, consistently incredible pinot noirs. This is drinking absolutely superbly now, extremely delicate wine that also tastes of brilliant ripe fruits.

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.
