Description

The Mount Majura Riesling should be on the radar for any serious Riesling collector.

With their vineyards sitting at over 650 metres above sea level, Mount Majura specialise in premium, cool-climate wines that don’t bust the bank and have been impressing the critics for quite a few years now.

The Riesling is planted in the coolest, most south-easterly facing of their vineyards atop ancient volcanic soils. The struggle that the vines undergo to produce this incredible fruit is one of the key aspects contributing to the sheer quality of this wine. 

The 2017 release picked up a huge 96 points from James Halliday. It's a scintillating Riesling and a great advertisement for the Canberra District.

Riesling has secured its future at Mount Majura Vineyard, something we can only say of very few other varieties. In fact we're currently planting more. We love its delicacy, fragrance and personality. A proven performer in the cellar.

96 Points - "Canberra riesling, when as good as this, transcends its armour of citrus flavours to take on a complex whir of pepper, jasmine and fennel, meshing with the juicy spout of crunchy acidity and mineral alike. This hits all the right notes and the end sensation is one of a thrumming joyousness, bounce and compelling length. Palpably dry despite a balancing dash of residual sugar." - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)

93 Points - "Like riesling? Like Canberra District riesling? Like high quality white wine? Pitch perfect.Tight, tangy, zingy white of piercing citrus fruit character and summery freshness. It's all Warhead lollies and lime juice, some more florals in perfume perhaps, but the gist is we're deep in citrus territory with all the accompanying refreshing feel. Amongst that tension, a light drizzle of 'mineral feel', just so and delicious. Great drinking here." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
