About

About This Wine

Pinotage can be quite a divisive variety. When poorly made it tastes of burnt rubber, yet when well-made, can be a unique and expressive grape.

This wine offers raspberry and ripe peach and black cherry flavours with subtle oak nuances, a ripe juice palate and a delicate lingering finish.

One of the grapes showing most potential in South Africa. While not everyone’s cup of tea, if it is grown and vinified correctly, it becomes an interesting wine with unique character, and this is a great example of that.

About Stellenrust

Established in 1928, Stellenrust is one of the largest family-owned wineries in South Africa..

With over 200 ha under vine (out of 400 total ha), their holdings are predominantly in Stellenbosch, but also high up in the Bottelary Hills, renowned for its cool climate, and late afternoon sea breezes swooping in from Cape Town.

With generations of winemaking history in their blood, they are a part of the history of South Africa, warts and all.

In recognition of historic wrongs, they have handed over 100 ha of land to their long-term farm workers to become majority shareholders in the production from the land.

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).
