About The Wine
This is a new partnership between three brothers, Simon, Jason and Ben Cooke.
Ben, the youngest of the three, has an extensive background in wine, working as everything from a retailer to an assistant winemaker at Shaw + Smith for almost a decade and even vintages overseas at the famed Williams Selyem winery in California.
After starting his own viticultural consulting business in 2012, Ben now produces small batches of wine from the vineyards he manages around the Adelaide Hills. It's fair to say he's hit the ground running.
This Cabernet comes from the organic farm run by the Broderick family in the Basket Range. It's a slippery, elegant cool climate Cabernet which shows great finesse and drinks beautifully from day dot. This isn't the hulking, bulky Cabernet you see further to the North of SA, this is a supple, medium-bodied Cabernet which would perfectly compliment a lamb roast on Sunday afternoon.

Critic Reviews
"Sleek, sultry, satisfying red of just enough heft but plenty of freshness. A mesh of black berries, currants, black olive, pepper and that sweet herby thing that happens when you crush lemon myrtle leaves in your hands. The smooth ride across the palate is moreish, the supple chew that builds to the long, lazy finish speaks of potential to mature well, and if not, then good structure for now. Oak seasoning just so. An effortless feel here. Lovely." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

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).
