Description

'Emily' was one of the first wines to form part of the modern Woodlands range.

It's a classic 'Right Bank' Bordeaux blend that focuses on primarily Cabernet Franc with a supporting cast of Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot.

If 'Margaret' is the more firm and structural blend, 'Emily' is the softer, more aromatic and elegant expression of the region.

It shows the wonderful sweet berry fruits, gentle leafiness and violet lift that are the signatures of the Cabernet Franc grape, with a little more mid-palate weight attributed to its blending mates.

Put simply, it's a gorgeous wine, one that drinks beautifully now or with a decade plus of maturity.

2019 was a classic year for Margaret River, avoiding both extremes of heat and of rainfall. In fact, 2019 was indeed very close to the average vintage conditions of Margaret River in the 1980's and 1990's. These mild conditions were ideal for flavour development and retention of acidity, and our 2019's are showing wonderful brightness, delicacy and balance.

The colour is a deep crimson. The nose shows a brooding mix of blackcurrant, rum and raison, and cocoa. The palate's entry is pristine, and shows red berry fruits, with notes of cranberry and violet. The finish is mineral, with velvety tannins.

96 Points - "A cabernet franc-led Bordeaux blend, with merlot, malbec, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot in support. A supple and chewy style that oozes restraint, pedigree and charm. Redcurrant, pink peppercorn, clove, star anise, fennel, red licorice, pomegranate and raspberry all mingle within the constraints of judiciously handled oak, laced up by saline acidity. The length is awesome, telling us we can either drink it now or cellar it with confidence." - Erin Larkin (Halliday Wine Companion)

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.
