About This Wine
Small-batch winemaking at its best, this project from Clos Ibai is never looking to make wine for the masses, rather their focus is on crafting unique tiny expressions.
This delectable white wine comes from vines planted in 2014 and managed organically since the 2016 vintage. It's a smooth-textured, mouth-coating white imbued with crystal-clear minerality and a long finish with mouth-watering acidity. Viura dominant, with a little bit of Grenache Blanc, and Malvasia, this is as textural as they come.
A superb Blanca and fascinating drinking for the dollars.
About Clos Ibai
Clos Ibai is a project dedicated to rescuing the precious ancient vines of Rioja that are falling into disrepair.
These rare old plots around Baños de Ebro are some of Spain's most unique viticultural resources, however as the owners are ageing, the vineyards are failing.
That's where Daniel Frias & Xabier Kamio step in. They are saving these old vines as well as planting their own vineyards in an effort to secure the legacy of this great wine producing region.
Farming organically, they craft wines that are true reflections of their origins.

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).
