Description

From the slatey soils of the Hendelberg vineyard, this Riesling is a beautiful single-site expression of the grand grape of Rheingau. South-facing vines and the steep slopes are afforded extended hang time, with cool circulating breezes providing good ventilation, and the slate soils absorbing the intense sunshine at the bottom of the vineyard.

A truly elegant wine, driven by its minerality, there is an exceptional purity of fruit, imparted by being fermented and aged solely in tank, with no oak used at all. The bouquet is classic Rheingau; a mixture of minerality and enchanting fruit aromas of ripe stone fruit, and citrus, with tropical notes coming through as well.

What an exceedingly balanced and structured wine, one with so much enjoyment now, yet at the same time, so much anticipation for what the future will show.

The grapes for this wine were harvested in late September and early October. They were golden yellow and very ripe.

After the harvest, the grapes were pressed directly and spontaneously fermented in stainless steel for 10-14 weeks and left on the fine lees until March.

96 Points - "Feel the power of nature! A firework display of citrus zest and blossoms on the nose lead you into the super racy and very concentrated palate that has more energy than is decent. A lightning strike of a finish completes the stunning picture. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." James Suckling (James Suckling)

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.
