About

About The Wine

Powerhouse Riesling with rich fruit, some lees-derived texture and some wild ferment complexity.

The fruits for this wine come from old vines, producing a wine with delicious stone and tropical fruit notes, but with ample acidity to keep it all in balance. Incredible length.

A deep, intense wine that could cellar brilliantly. They do say good things come to those who wait...

About Eva Fricke

Coming from a non-wine background Eva Fricke has laid the foundation to new Riesling dynasty on the rocky, south-facing slopes of the Rheingau.

Global wine-trotting under her belt, she worked at the famed Leitz Estate, and began to acquire her own vineyards in the Lorcher region with the Rheingau.

Organic, low intervention, old vines, and all the care in the world - the recipe for gorgeous wine and sustainable success.

"Deep, cool and delicately earthy, this is a very concentrated dry riesling for the 2020 vintage, and is a very classic example of the central section of the region. At once creamy and highly structured, it has fantastic balance on the medium-to full-bodied palate." - JamesSuckling.com

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).
