About The Wine
Bernhard Huber was the most respected maker of Spatburgunder (Pinot Noir) in all of Germany.
Dubbed "the wizard of German Pinot Noir", by Jancis Robinson's German specialist Michael Schmidt, Bernhard crafted Baden's most ethereal expressions of Pinot Noir until his passing in 2014. He is survived by his son Julian who has taken up the mantle at their family winery.
Julian's passion for Pinot Noir matches that of his late father. His wines to date have faithfully continued Weingut Huber's legacy of excellence.
The Malterdinger comes from 25 year old vines and is made with around a third whole bunches. This is no aping Burgundy, it's a uniquely German expression of the variety, all earth, mineral and spice.
Top value here from his benchmark Pinot Noir producer.

Critic Reviews
"Vine age is around 25 years, aged in three and four year old barriques, with about 30% whole bunch. Spiced cherry and plum, ample fruit, though essentially savoury with things like walnut, sausages and hazelnuts. Medium-bodied, sappy and tangy, fine dense ‘minerally’ tannin and earthiness, solid finish. This wine is invariably interesting and offers a point of difference to many Pinot Noir." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

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).
