Description

Guix Vermell is the flagship wine of the Terroir Sense Fronteres label. 100% Grenache and raised in amphora this is Grand Cru Grenache for Burgundy drinkers. Impressive aromatically it runs the full gamut from violet through cranberry to rust, the palate is complex adding graphite and a chalky saltiness. The wine is fluid and elegant but with inherent power.

Yes, this wine is expensive, achingly so, but, the authenticity, detail, and finesse are so mind-blowingly good that the value offered here is superb. For those who wish to experience all the greatest wines the world has to offer, this needs to be on your bucket list.

Els Montalts is a tiny 4-hectare vineyard that sits at a dizzying 800m of elevation. The 45-year-old Garnacha vines that thrive there show an unparalleled beauty and elegant finesse.

Vinification and aging occur in Italian terracotta amphoras, maintaining a consistent and natural connection with the clay from vine to bottle. After fermentation, the wines are further aged in the same amphorae for up to 6 months to ultimately reveal an unparalleled expression of the Montsant terroir.

96 Points - "... There are notes of raspberries, red cherries, acid strawberry, violets and spices; it's very balanced and insinuating, open and pure, elegant and harmonious. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins. I tasted this next to the 2016 Les Manyes from Terroir al Limit, and the wines are very different; they have completely different aromas, and there is more depth and complexity in the wine from Priorat. But this is really superb, and it's still very young and should also develop in bottle."- Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate)

96 Points - "This is a crazy wine with such depth and compact character with blue fruit and shaved graphite. Full to medium body. Very complex and complete with excellent texture. Red chilies and rust. Extremely long and creamy with excellent structure. Pure garnacha."- James Suckling (jamessuckling.com)

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.
