Description

The Cobaw Ridge Lagrein is the very definition of a 'cult' wine.

The Coopers were the first family in Australia to produce this little-known Italian variety and it's been a labour of love to raise the variety's profile. The best example in the country, bar none.

It's a bold, full-bodied red with thick, rustic tannin and opulent mouthfeel. It's an extraordinary wine that sits alone in the Australian wine landscape.

If you want to see the best examples of Italian varieties coming out of Australia at the moment, the Cobaw Ridge Lagrein would absolutely be on the list.

Our wine is allowed to express the season in which it was grown, 100% estate grown made and bottled. Our commitment is to quality in all aspects of vine management and wine making. All vineyard operations performed by the vignerons. Great wine is made in the vineyard, not the winery. Utilising the natural balance of our vines, most more than 25 years of age.

93 Points - "Biodynamic lagrein from a producer who had the vision with this variety and has nailed it down righteously. A recent retrospective reminded me of this. This release is inky in the glass, big and dark berry richness to taste with strong, medicinal, cherry elixir, game meat. Sure is savoury, despite the heft of inky, darker fruits rolling around. Fine tannins stretch things nicely. Have to like that ferrous minerality, alongside the bandaid and smoke. It seems to fit ok, though, a rustic red with bold, ripe/sweet fruit. Go forth." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

96 Points - "A variety where the colour - an exuberant and compelling deep purple - kickstarts the joy. It's cooling, with alpine herbs, ironstone, freshly rolled tobacco and pepper but really, it's a symphony of cherries from black, spiced, macerated to morello. The lithe acidity and shapely tannins are hand-in-hand. It's refreshing and ready now, with a pleasing if astringent finish, but it will garner more complexity in time." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

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.
