About

About The Wine

Owen Latta is a young dude with an old head on his shoulders.

He loves old school Cabernet. Traditionally, a more medium-bodied expression of the variety was in vogue. Somewhere along the way, winemakers got lost in a sea of over-ripe, over-oaked examples. Owen is bringing a more elegant style of the variety back.

This is fruit from Yandoit vineyard, down the road from Owen's winery. It sees 20-25% whole bunch and spends seven weeks on skins before pressing allowing the tannins to soften before being sent to large casks for ageing.

It's a delicious, mid-weight Cabernet we have here. Slinky, sexy and stupidly good to drink.

About Eastern Peake / Latta Vino

Is anyone working as hard as Owen Latta to put Ballarat in the mix of Australia's foremost wine regions? At only 15 years old he completed his first vintage at Eastern Peake alongside his father and has since taken on the full-time running of the business.

Owen is the man primarily responsible for both the Eastern Peake and Latta wines, the former of which being dedicated to premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Eastern Peake vineyard, and the latter being Owen's personal project all about innovation from a range of excellent central Victorian vineyards.

The wines are all gently brought to life with very astute yet hands-off winemaking, and Owen's low and zero-sulphur wines are some of the best examples in the country. These are thrilling, absolutely unique Victorian wines, and quite simply Owen Latta is one of Australia's finest young winemakers.

The Wine Front

"It’s fair to say, that Owen Latta never makes a boring wine. The texture here is really pleasing with its silty and gravelly texture and juicy tomato acidity. Flavours fall to savoury, black olive and sun-dried tomato, grilled lamb with thyme and the like, but also dried cherry and redcurrant, with a dried herb, fresh mint, and rose perfume. Finish is bright, spicy and slightly sappy. Such a curious and good expression of Cabernet. I really like drinking it too, most importantly." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

FaQs
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 aiming to the best in the market already. For very large orders (weddings etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call. How does the price match work?

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 match it. We'll even retrospectively refund you if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.

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 1300 668 385 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.

Does Different Drop have a physical store?

No, not really. More of a warehouse/office. We do however offer a Click & Collect option from our warehouse in Ultimo, Sydney. Our warehouse address for Click & Collect is: F5A, 42 Wattle St, Ultimo, 2007

Can I special order a wine you do not sell?

If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
