Description

The ‘Grounds’ wines from Seppeltsfield are a set of single-vineyard releases that in essence are a study on the hero grape of the region, Shiraz, and the unique micro-climates of the Barossa.

The Northing, from Marananga, is a brooding and intense expression of Shiraz. Though tightly wound, the ferrous nature of the sub-soils is evident in the wine, with depth and richness, sitting nicely alongside the chew of tannin.

Terroir driven, this wine speaks to place, while also demanding patience in order to see it through to its full potential.

The 2019 Barossa ‘The Northing' was vinified through the historic 1888 Gravity Cellar. Built into the hillside on a series of terraces, gravity guides the flow of fruit down through the winery to deliver gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tannin. 'The Northing' Shiraz was fermented in open fermenters, between 18 and 28 degrees and monitored daily over two by twelve-hour intervals. 'The Northing' was then matured for 14 months in new and seasoned French oak hogsheads.

96 Points - "Very deep, dense red/purple/black colouring, the bouquet quiet and reserved, but figuring black pepper and sooty, graphite, earthy notes. The wine is formidably full-bodied and dense, almost chewy in its thickly-textured palate, masses of tannins framing a powerfully concentrated, dense wine that begs to be cellared and promises to reward the patient big-time. A whopper. (The Northern Grounds Vineyard: Marananga Block)." Huno Hooke (The Real Review

95 Points - "Marananga Shiraz. Probably the 'best' of the 2019 Shiraz releases, and while all three wines show typical sub-regional character, this maybe stands out. All wines are equal, though some are more equal than others.Iron and ozone, dried flower, spearmint, baking spice, fresh, dense with a lot of presence in the mouth, stony feel to it, and plenty of chew to tannin. Finish sports perfume of dried herbs, bitter chocolate, a certain coolness, and a fair 'mineral' edge. Excellent wine. Most likely very age-worthy too." Gary Walsh (Wine Front)

95 Points - "A seriously structured Barossa shiraz with a stack of fine tannins wrapped in blackberry and blue fruit, this opens up beautifully with some aeration with notes of summer flowers. A real iron fist in velvet glove finish. From the Marananga Block vineyard. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. Screw cap." - JamesSuckling.com

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.
