About the Wine
This Pinot Noir from Toolangi shows off only the best fruit that their vineyard produces.
The vines of E Block were very lovingly tended to, with a very attentive team nurturing them through the vintage to coax out only the most stellar and pristine Pinot grapes - both flavourful while keeping all of that wonderful natural acidity.
The result of the final wine pretty much speaks for itself - bursting with delicious herbal aromas and whole bunchy spice, it's powerful in flavour yet maintains its grace. Any fans of a stellar red better get in quick.
About Toolangi
Toolangi is a relatively undiscovered jewel of the Yarra, tucked in the corner of the Dixon's Creek sub-region up against the Toolangi state forest from where it takes its name.
Started by the Hounsell family in 1995, Toolangi was all about the vineyard, with famous Victorian names taking care of the winemaking.
Now owned by Rochford, the winemaking and viticulture is all in-house, headed by ex-Mount Mary man Kaspar Herrman. His recent releases have seen incredible quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a nod towards more graceful, structured wines.

From the Producer
The nose leads with dried herb, sage, rose petals, red forest berries a plenty with cherry amongst some whole bunch spices. The palate has a commanding presence with ample volume of red fruits and spiced nuts. There’s a soft yet chalky tannin that flows as it goes carrying the bundle of red fruits nicely on a fine and fresh finish.
Wild yeast fermented as 60% whole bunches and 40% as whole berry, on skins for 4 weeks. Pressed to barrel (30% new French oak) for indigenous malolactic conversion, then sulphured on lees. 10 months on lees in oak, then racked twice prior to bottling.
Blend : Pinot Noir (100%)
ABV : 13%

Critic Reviews
"Plenty of spice, strawberry, blood orange, brown bread and sort of demerara sugar thing happening too. It’s medium-bodied, ripe strawberry and spice, a sappy and stalky coolness, fresh acidity, fine emery tannin, and good crunch and energy on the finish, along with some sugar dusted rhubarb. Good wine, perhaps not the deepest and most complex of Pinot Noir, but nice to drink." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

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).
