The wine put me in mind of Foillard’s Morgon.

About The Wine
This is a limited bottling of Erinn Klein's best Syrah grapes from their biodynamic Adelaide Hills vineyard.
It's a refined cool-climate Syrah, combining ripe blue fruits, whole-bunchy herbs and a cavalcade of sweet, peppery spices into a classy, elegant red wine that feels unforced and untampered with.
This treads the line between classic and contemporary, with a foot in each camp of the traditional spicy Syrahs of the old world and the vibrant modern Syrahs of the Adelaide Hills.
It's one of the best releases to date from this important family wine-growing business.
About Ngeringa
Erinn & Janet Klein are pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Australia.
Their Adelaide Hills vineyard has been certified biodynamic for more than 20 years. They are deeply passionate about the health and well-being of their soils and plants. It's a bucolic scene they have created in their little part of the world.
In the winery, they favour low-intervention winemaking allowing their pristine fruit to fully express itself. And they have been instrumental in mentoring many of the younger-generation winemakers pursuing a more natural approach to winemaking in the Hills.
With an eclectic range that spans everything from experimental to classical stylings, Ngeringa offers a little something for everyone.

Critic Reviews
"Blueberry, dark cherry, cracked black pepper, dried roses, earth. It’s deep and dense in silty tannin, meaty and full of dark cherry, but with spice and this charming rose oil perfume wafting through it, fleshy and stony and wide-feeling, with soft acidity, but enough to keep it on the rails. Finish is all clod earth and spice, a bounteous spread of gravelly tannin pushing it long. Such personality. I reckon it’s very good drinking now." - Gary Walsh (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).
