Description

Sitting firmly in the chilled-red zone, this 100% Castelao, is a unique and individual expression, that has loads of drinkability.

On the nose, red berry fruit drives, while notes of sea spray and tea ride shotgun. On the palate, crunchy, snappy red fruit with a defined salinity, are framed by a slight herbal note, kind of in that Cabernet Franc zone, but something wholly its own. Mouth-watering acidity and soft skin tannin provide lovely balance to the fruit.

This wine is in the zone, and like its white sibling, is a stunning expression of a rare grape.

Fruit is harvested by hand from vineyards located in Torres Vedras, just east of Lisbon. Vines were planted between 1950 and 1960, planted to clay and sand and farmed with organic and biodynamic viticulture.
Castelao fruit was whole cluster fermented in stainless steel. A short, cold maceration lasted for three days. Fermented occurred spontaneously with native yeast. Wine was aged in stainless steel with lees, without battonage or pump-overs.

93 Points - "Dried roses and Earl Grey tea, meaty and ferrous, blackberry, lemon zest, paprika and sea spray. It’s medium-bodied, damp earthy things and perfume of dried herb, chewy and dense, iron and blood, red and black fruit, wild garrigue sort of character, and a savoury finish of fine length. Such a good wine. Recommended." Gary Walsh (Wine Front)

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.
