About The Wine
Sisters Marie and Sylvie Courselle are making a very different style of Bordeaux.
Their high-density vineyard located at Chateau Thieuley, 25kms from Bordeaux, is certified sustainable by Terra Vitis. Two rebels of the region, they have planted Syrah and even Chardonnay amongst their traditional Bordeaux varieties and make wines in a style that is contrary to the traditions of the area. They are looking for drinkability and character in their wines and are comfortably some of the most interesting and well priced Bordeaux in the market today.
This cuveé is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented and aged in concrete vats, then sent to bottle with no additional sulphur. It's an awesome, vibrant, natural Bordeax that shows its sweet blue fruits and shapely tannin without the influence of heavy oak.
Its such a unique take on Cabernet from this famous region and absolutely a style we would love to see more of out of the area.

From The Producer
This is, quite simply, what we have wanted to do with this cuvee, Temps de Lune.
To ‘take our time’ to put our feet up, to look up, and ponder the moon and the stars, exploring the mysterious yet natural universe and its cyclical cadences. Temps de Lune is harvested and vinified while taking into account the biodynamic lunar calendar and favouring ‘Fruit Days’.
This is said to emphasize the aromatics of the wine. In every other respect, we have crafted this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with minimal intervention, in small concrete vats, without adding any Sulphur.

Critic Reviews
"Concrete (naturally) fermented cabernet sauvignon from two very progressive women winemakers in Bordeaux. These wines have been a wonderful discovery for me. Such unique and compelling expressions. No SO2 here (or any other additions). Soft and supple, plummy red of light spice, some earthiness and a savoury finish. This is super pleasing, very gentle in its way, easy to drink and feels so utterly pure and wonderful. Such a charming, lighter red, but with enough going on to seduce beyond the drinking pleasure." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

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).
