Coonawarra, SA
Super mid-week drinking on offer here from this Coonawarra stalwart producer.
$19.00
The Blend is the best way to get acquainted with the style of wines produced by the Balnaves family.
This is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc made in a more approachable style.
Most wines in Coonawarra are heralded for their cellaring potential, this wine is built for drinking now.
For a Thursday night or a Sunday roast lunch, this goes down an absolute treat while scratching the Coonawarra Bordeaux blend itch at the same time.
Balnaves is a shining jewel in the crown of Coonawarra. A family-owned winery established in the early 1970s, Balnaves is one of the few fully independent wine businesses in the region.
Their Reserve Cabernet, The Tally, is one of the country's most collectable Cabernets with an established pedigree for longevity and balance.
James Halliday describes Balnaves as "Coonawarra at its best", With the next generation of Balnaves taking up positions in the family business, their story is set to continue to fold in the region for decades to come.
The Balnaves Coonawarra Vineyard was established in 1975 and is situated at the southern end of the Coonawarra Terra Rossa strip. The family, which has been associated with the district since 1855, remains fully committed to a high level of ‘hands-on’ involvement.

"68% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 2% petit verdot. Matured in French oak (30% new) for 12 months. Some smart winemaking on show which belies the affordable price tag. Gentle fragrance, bright red and black fruits, but the real clincher is the concentrated aromatics, delightfully fresh and lifted. There's violet and rose petal with splashes of spice and some of that Coonawarra bay leaf that is pure terroir. Sensational value." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

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).
