About The Wine
Gravillas references the stark white gravel soils of this organic estate in the rugged high country of the Languedoc.

A perfect glass with cured meats, its joyful juicy spiced red fruit is tempered by savoury spice and woody herbs.
About Clos du Gravillas
Located in the little town of St-Jean-de-Minervois, Clos du Gravillas sits in the rugged, rocky landscapes of the vast Parc National du Languedoc. Now 8 hectares in size, the estate was established in 1999 by Kentucky native John Bojanowksi and wife Nadine, who hails more locally from Narbonne.
Run to strict organic practices, vineyard yields are kept extremely low from a range of 15 local red and white varieties.
Located on a plateau around 300m in altitude, its soils are distinctive rocky white limestone chips, appearing stark and dazzling in the brilliant southern sunlight.

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.
