About The Wine

An experiment in skin contact winemaking here from the Onannon trio.

This is Pinot Gris from the Mornington Peninsula grown on the Onannon home vineyard in Red Hill. 

It was fermented as 100% whole bunches, taking Pinot Gris out of 'dry white' territory into a more 'Romato' style. 

It's a full noise wine, a riot of strawberry, citrus and spice.

It's the first wine from Onannon to be made without any sulphur and it's fair to say they've nailed it the first time.

About Onannon

Onannon was founded by Will Byron, Kaspar Hermann and Sam Middleton.

The trio met whilst working at Coldstream Hills many years ago. Will is now the chief winemaker at Stonier in Mornington Peninsula, Sam has taken over winemaking duties at his iconic family estate, Mount Mary in the Yarra Valley where he and Kaspar have worked for years.

With Onannon, they are looking to make wines that excite them from Mornington Peninsula and Geelong, focussing primarily on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. 

With strong relationships with great growers, this is more than just a hobby, Onannon is a passion project.

The Wine Front

"Skin contact Pinot Gris (Ramato style), with no additions and no sulphur. I’m betting this is a Kaspar Hermann job, rather than Sam Middleton or Will Byron, though I guess I shouldn’t typecast. Just a hunch.Dried apple, mixed peel and spice, nashi pear, a bit earthy, varnish and funk with it. Medium-bodied, fleshy and full of flavour, light on acidity, but fine chalky texture, and a slight bitterness and spritz keeps it on track, more or less. Regardless, I like drinking this, quite a bit. Don’t serve it too cold, as the tannin comes up as it warms." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

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 aiming to the best in the market already. For very large orders (weddings etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call. How does the price match work?

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 match it. We'll even retrospectively refund you if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.

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 1300 668 385 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.

Does Different Drop have a physical store?

No, not really. More of a warehouse/office. We do however offer a Click & Collect option from our warehouse in Ultimo, Sydney. Our warehouse address for Click & Collect is: F5A, 42 Wattle St, Ultimo, 2007

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).
