About The Wine
Sholto Broderick's Cabernet wines are some of his best.
In this slightly warmer part of the Adelaide Hills, the conditions conspire perfectly for Cabernet. Considered growing and a gentle hands-off approach in the cellar gets the very best out of the Broderick vineyard fruit.
This is a supple, mid-weight Cabernet that show wonderful fragrance and delicacy. It's a gorgeous, unique expression of the variety from a young producer truly coming into his own as a winemaker.
About Basket Range Wine
The Broderick family have farmed their little piece of the Adelaide Hills since the 1980's.
Phillip, the Broderick patriarch, has made a more classical style of wine from his fruit for the last few decades and now son Sholto has started making his own juice along side him.
Sholto's stuff is a bit looser in style, more in line with the frisky 'vin-de-soif' style of wine coming from the Basket Range community. The wines are fun and playful and made without little to no additions. These are quintessential picnic wines built for swishing in tumblers in the sun.

From The Producer
The Cabernet grows in the warmest aspect of the vineyard. That site gets a nice amount of afternoon sun. It is the first time we have also made a straight Cabernet Sauvignon and I think it shows how well-suited that variety can be for this part of the Hills, particularly in warmer years.

Critic Reviews
"Succulent and taut, rippling with dark berry and plummy fruit character, shot through with stemsy, fennel-like herbal notes, an authority of tannin that is rarely seen in cabernet from this fine land, firm, cinching, fine, excellent. And the whole thing so fresh feeling, so alive and energetic, the shape beautiful and the fruitiness so well tempered by other elements. World class." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

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.
