About The Wine

The Pinot Gris on Skins project is Kate McIntyre MW's pet project at family winery, Moorooduc in Mornington Peninsula.

The region as a whole has championed the Pinot Gris variety as something more than just a simple, easy drinking white. The McIntyre's are the latest to get behind this regional hero.

This spent two weeks on skins before being pressed to barrel where it underwent MLF and hung out for 10 weeks on lees. It's made like Pinot Noir as opposed to traditional Gris/Grigio.

The result is a wine more red than white. It's fuller bodied than most Rosé wine, with serious tannin and weight.

If you want to see the more interesting side of Pinot Gris, this is it.

Halliday Wine Companion

"It looks like a deeply coloured rose, but in truth it's a wine difficult to pigeonhole. Pinot gris made more like pinot noir, with two weeks on skins, pressed to barrel with mlf and time on lees part of the process. Lifted aromas have musky and watermelon qualities with a savoury sort of character almost reminiscent of Chinato. There's a silky, glycerous feel on the palate with a lightly tannic astringency which is quite red-wine-like. An interesting diversion." - Steven Creber (Halliday Wine Companion)

Everyday Low & Consistent Pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price.

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?
