Description

Only the best 2-3 barrels of estate grown Shiraz goes in to this wine.

And these pristine grapes go through careful, considered and loving treatment in both the vineyard and winery to transform into a broody Shiraz that simply demands your attention.

Densely flavoured with blue, black and purple berries, spice and oaky vanilla, layered with spice. A truly opulent wine and one that will go the distance in the cellar.

The best 2/3 barrels of pressings off our home vineyard. As our 11 acres are fully planted there is no ability to make any more, so don’t wait. It has outstanding concentration and a plush fruity palate. Velvety tannins coat the mouth throughout the long, earthy finish. A wine of great presence young, but will continue to age gracefully for many years to come.

We believe we have combined the wonderful suitability of Shiraz and the Swan Valley with thoughtful and considered vineyard management. This produces the superb raw material from which we craft our Reserve Shiraz.

95 Points - "Powerful, intense, ferrous and commanding style of Shiraz. Black fruit, chocolate and liquorice, dried banana, dried flowers and sweet spiced oak. It’s full-bodied, flooded with flavour, inky and brooding, with a mass of rusty fleshy tannin, a fair bit of oak, sure, but mopped up by the purple torrent of fruit. Chewy, generous and very long. It’s a wine of thunder and intent, and I know they age beautifully too. So good." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

96 Points - "Matured for 22 months in new French oak. The nose has a sweet cola character to it that may induce one to swear there was some American oak in there – but no. It's the sweet, intense fruit from under the Swan Valley sun. The palate is intense and layered, with thundering length of flavour. This is a classically structured and dense wine, and will surely live for decades." - Erin Larkin (Halliday Wine Companion)

93 Points - "Dark, inky and opaque in the glass. Lifted aromas of plum, mulberry, cola, sweet oak, pudding and spice. Big, bold and mouth-filling, plenty of lush black fruits, sweet oak and spice. A dense, dark and opulent wine with balance, poise and real presence." - Aaron Brasher (The Real Review)

Faber Vineyard

John Griffiths & Jane Micallef established Faber Vineyard in 1997, after John spent 10 years gaining all the knowledge he could on how to make fantastic warm climate wines.

They chose to plant and embrace "traditional" varieties that thrive in the Swan Valley, like Verdelho and Shiraz, turning them into rich and flavourful wines with supreme drinkability and age-worthiness.

The aim of Faber Vineyard is to continue to make their mark on Swan Valley wine by creating wines with their signature house style.

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.
