About the Wine
The Estate Pinot is a blend of three blocks on the Kooyong vineyard site: Meres, Haven and Ferrous - a true representation of place and vintage.
Fresh berries and a touch of pomegranate on the nose. Darker fruit shows on the palate, with some earthy spices.
Wild fermented in a large oak fourdre, concrete tank and stainless steel, with a good dollop of whole bunches included. Unfined and minimal filtering, for max flavour.
About Kooyong Estate
Kooyong is one of the Mornington Peninsula's most iconic wineries, a specialist in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while also making some cracking Pinot Gris.
Their 40 hectare home is in Tuerong, in the north of the region, and consists of five distinct vineyard blocks from which limited quantities of Single Block wines are made when vintage conditions allow.
Their 'entry level' wines, the Clonale Chardonnay and Massale Pinot Noir, offer extremely good value for money and a great snapshot of regional style.

From the Producer
Kooyong Estate Pinot Noir comprises fruit from our Meres, Haven and Ferrous blocks. It offers an overall expression of the Kooyong vineyard, with parcels of fruit from various soils and mesoclimates blended to create the Estate label. Each year the same parcels are consistently chosen, giving this wine an underlying likeness across vintages.

Critic Reviews
"It’s a wine defined by its shape. It angles towards the finish and then pushes on out; the pulleys are in place from the beginning. Twiggy spice, a general woody/savouriness, dark cherry and a light coating of cedar. I wouldn’t call it taut but I would call it firm and indeed strict. It’s as though the wine’s flavour run on converging rails. " - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
"One of the go-to pinots for the region, as it can come from no other place. Dark cherries abound, fragrant on the nose and sweet on the palate, with woodsy spices, charry oak plus a hint of blood orange. Lots of textural grippy tannins, but they are ripe and woven into the full-bodied palate. Lively acidity lengthens it out." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
"Medium to deep purple/red hue, excellent colour. Spicy, smoky oak overlying dark-cherry fruit on an uncannily Burgundy-like bouquet and palate. Intense and driving, powerful and lingering, with appropriate tannin grip and structure that holds it long into an extended aftertaste. Impressive stuff." - Huon Hooke (The Real Reeview)

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.
