About the Wine
The Alsace region offers the perfect growing conditions for white grapes, particularly Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat. Alsace is renowned for making not only prestige wines, but also ones of very good value.
After harvesting, the Willm Alsace Riesling grapes are pressed softly and then fermentation takes place over 4-6 weeks in stainless steel vats. The wine is then matured on its lees for two to three months, to add some texture.
The finished wine has a pale yellow colour with aromas of citrus and white flowers. With good acidity and length, it will complement meals of seafood, sushi, white meats, or cheeses.
About Maison Willm
In 1896 the Willm family founded the Willm wine estate, based in the village of Barr in beautiful Alsace region, not far from Strasbourg. It gained fame both for exceptional Gewurztraminer that was exported globally, and also for selling wonderful local snail dishes.
With local sustainable growers and with their own grand cru vineyards Willm spans the spectrum of Alsace wines from bargain joys to the greatest aromatic wines in the world.

From the Producer
Steady rainfall during spring encouraged moderate growth of the vines from mid-April. The dry period in July would not cause any damage to the grapes protected by the dense canopy of springtime leaves. The life-giving heavy rainfall at the beginning of August and the modest quantity of grapes hastened the harvest. Small bunches, rich in aromatic compounds with very litte juice produced fresh and expressive wines with beautiful balanced acidities and perfect sugar content. A fine vintage, to compare to 2017 and 2010.

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).
