Description

"Typically, this is extraordinary value." Mike Bennie once wrote on the Torzi Matthews Schist Rock Shiraz. The 2017 vintage does not disappoint.

This is right in the sweet-spot for the Barossa/Eden Valley lover. It's ripe but balanced, the focus on the luscious fruit the region is famous for rather than oak.

There aren't many Barossa wines that compete with this for value for money. Barossa fans should buy with confidence.

Estate single vineyard wine grown in the chilly surrounds of Mount McKenzie in the Eden Valley, Barossa This label represents our rendition of Eden Valley, Barossa Shiraz which is the non dried portion fruit that of Frost Dodger Shiraz and is aged in ex Frost Dodger barrels.

93 Points - "Spicy greenery of whole bunch, truffle, blackberry, dried herb and flowers, a wee bit of camphor. Medium to full-bodied, fine grainy tannin, a whole lot of spice, saline and savoury stuff in among fruit of almost Ribena-like intensity. Lovely grip and chalkiness through the finish, and more of that intense blackcurrant trailing along. It’s very Eden Valley, but with Torzi fingerprints all over it." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

95 Points - ”This is exceptional shiraz, with more a cool climate sheen than one of Barossan grunt. Soaring aromas of lilac, cured meats, iodine and tapenade whet the imagination. Blue to dark fruits, all. 25% whole-bunch, ambient yeasts and a soft touch across the oak and extraction regime has resulted in a pulpy, grapey wine bursting with brio, drinkability and fine balance. No hard acid. Absolutely delicious!" - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)

Torzi Matthews

Phillip White called Torzi Matthews 'Australia's Best Bargain Winemaker' with good reason. The wines from Domenic Torzi and Tracy Matthews are some of the best buys in the Barossa Valley.

Alongside their excellent range of 'classic' Barossa Shiraz and Eden Valley Riesling, they make a small amount of fascinating Italian variety wines, inspired by their Italian heritage.

At every price point, these wines massively overdeliver and are simply a must-buy for any lover of honest, delicious Barossan wines.

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.
