About The Wine
The Infidels is Primitivo/Zinfindel from the immaculate Inkwell vineyard in McLaren Vale.
Over the last few vintages, it has garnered a reputation for being one of the country's most drinkable/loveable Primitivos. It sells out the fastest of all the Inkwell wines each year and rightfully so. The 2017 release looks in great form.
The oak is set firmly to the background, the perky red fruits and spice of this variety on display for all to see. The fruit weight, tannin, and acidity playing perfectly with each other.
Dudley thinks it's a little lighter and fresher, which is when this wine is at its best.
About Inkwell
Husband and wife duo Dudley Brown and Dr. Irina Santiago-Brown of Inkwell Wines in McLaren Vale, are true advocates of sustainable farming practices and are self confessedly “fanatical about (their) vines and wines.”
The Inkwell Wines are all produced from their beautiful organically farmed vineyard while the Dubstyle wines are a range designed as a way for them to stretch their winemaking wings beyond the reaches of their home vineyard.
They've found some stunning vineyards in the surrounding areas to source from, they make the wines at their home in McLaren Vale, then like any great music track, they mix and blend the certain parts until the wine 'sounds' just right.
Inkwell wines have a signature power and strength which does their home region proud.

Critic Reviews
Juicy and spicy with ripe red berries, cherry chocolate and sweet oak on the nose. Lighter in the mouth than many other Zin/Primi on the market but doesn't lack flavour. More spice follows the delicious red fruit flavours. Great acidity keeps running through the palate. Boy, this is easy to drink. - Different Drop Wine Team

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.
