About The Wine

Just to the north of Mount Fuji, to the west of Tokyo lies the stunning area of Koshu, the name of the valley and the main white grape variety of the region.

At Marusan, the third generation Wakao family makes a cracking unoaked version of Koshu with a hint of skin contact.

A dry style, full of savoury umami goodness, alongside some tangy yuzu and grapefruit characters and a last-minute minerally hit.

About Marusan

Marusan is a small family-owned winery based in the fertile Koshu Valley, part of the larger Yamanashi province just to the west of Tokyo.

The Wakao family have one of the longest histories of grape-growing in Japan, and they are now on to their generation of vignerons.

They specialise in local varieties Koshu and Muscat Bailey A, as well as growing many table grapes and other fruits.

    Marusan Koshu

    A very drinkable wine but a bit on the fruity side for me, I preferred the Grace Koshu.

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 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.

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).
