About The Wine
One single barrique of Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo - which equates to just under 60 dozen produced. So this wine is here for a good time not a long time.
Which is exactly wrong for Nebbiolo, one of the world's most cellarworthy grape varieties.
The source is in the Macclesfield region of the Adelaide Hills from one of the earliest planted Nebbiolo vineyards in the country. It's a floral, savoury wine, not overly rich or concentrated but more gently charming. And the charm will not wear off if you can keep some bottles for a few years.
About Varney
Varney Wines began with just a "tonne for fun" for Alan Varney to play around with over a decade ago.
He took his years of experience working at top South Australian wineries, including time spent at Orlando Wines, Longview Vineyard and over a decade as senior winemaker at d’Arenberg, and poured his skills into crafting a style of wine that he and his friends and family could enjoy.
The side gig became a full-time obsession, leading to Alan purchasing a dilapidated property at the Gateway of McLaren Vale to house a tasting room alongside his wife Kathrin’s restaurant, Victor’s Place. A sustainable modern winery was built and their first commercial release was unveiled. The wines have been taking off ever since culminating with Varney being named James Halliday's Best New Winery in 2021.

From The Producer
Sourced from one of the earliest planted Nebbiolo Vineyards in Australia, this Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo is a classic example of the variety. The nose exhibits violets, rose petal, and a touch of tar. The palate of dark cherry, further hints of rose petal, lead to a long, savoury, fine tannin finish. Drinks well after 4-8 years of bottle age and will continue to develop and intrigue for many years. Carefully cellar with confidence for 20 years.
Blend : Nebbiolo (100%)

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).
