About

About The Wine

The Vin de Soif is a wine built for casual easy drinking.

It combines old vine Grenache, Mataro and Carignan from the Barossa Valley into a slurpable, sloshy wine that makes it a perfect match with a wide array of foods.

It's plump and full-bodied, dusted with fine, moreish tannin and incredibly easy to knock back out of tumblers.

It's the kind of wine that would be perfect for sipping around a campfire in the dead of winter.

About Yelland & Papps

Yelland and Papps are not your average Barossa producer.

Owned and run by husband and wife team Michael and Susan Papps since 2005, their philosophy is about respecting what has made the Barossa great, whilst also experimenting with a new range of grape varieties and winemaking techniques.

Grenache and Shiraz are their primary focus in reds, while their textural Roussanne and Vermentino provide delicious alternatives to the typical regional white varieties.

These are very well made, interesting wines that show Barossa warmth and richness with a little bit of an edge.

Critic Reviews

Halliday Wine Companion

"70.1% grenache, 24.9% mataro, 5% carignan from multiple vineyards with an average age of 87yo. Wild yeast-open fermented with an average of 38% whole bunches, 16 days on skins, matured for 20 months in used French oak. The cool vintage is reflected in the savoury intensity that permeates every part of a (very) complex wine. Food matches? A hundred or so." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

FaQs

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).
