About The Wine
A native of the Basque country in France’s South West, Gros Manseng is usually known for its powerful dry whites.
Innovative growers’ coop Rigal offers it up as an approachable take on skin contact styles.
Though orange tinted, it's less savoury than you’d imagine. With the skins adding both spice and lush texture to zesty citrus and green apple, this is balanced, bold and bright.
About Maison Rigal
An enterprising powerhouse within France’s lesser known South West, Maison Rigal grew from humble roots as a grape growers cooperative in Cahors.
It has done much innovative work to bring the wines of the region to new markets, from introducing sustainable vineyard practices, to technical winemaking smarts and alternative packaging formats.
Sourcing everything from the best Malbec grapes for its premium Chateau de Chambert, to fleshy dry whites from greater Gascony’s Gros Manseng and Colombard, Rigal’s mission focuses on the bringing the flavours of the South West to the world.

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).
