About The Wine
The Vineyard Blend from young pumped-up wine grower/winemaker Sholto Broderick is a unique wine.
Petit Verdot and Merlot forms the base of the wine, Bordeaux varieties do particularly well on the Broderick vineyard, a peculiarity for the Adelaide Hills region.
The final 20% of the blend is made up of the more obscure Georgian variety, Saperavi. Saperavi lends colour an weight to the wine and an exotic twist to the perfume.
Such an interesting and delicious wine here from the young vigneron. One to keep an eye on, no doubt.
About Basket Range Wine
The Broderick family have farmed their little piece of the Adelaide Hills since the 1980's.
Phillip, the Broderick patriarch, has made a more classical style of wine from his fruit for the last few decades and now son Sholto has started making his own juice along side him.
Sholto's stuff is a bit looser in style, more in line with the frisky 'vin-de-soif' style of wine coming from the Basket Range community. The wines are fun and playful and made without little to no additions. These are quintessential picnic wines built for swishing in tumblers in the sun.

Critic Reviews
It feels like nouveau Bordeaux or something like that. Plums and currant, a leafy lift and some licorice to the perfume. It's a slippery and crunchy little thing to drink. So much personality in the glass and right up there on the gluggability scale. - Different Drop Wine Team

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).
