About The Wine
This is the peak Pinot Noir in the Murdoch Hill range, and is now entirely sourced from the cool Piccadilly Valley from two vineyard sites, one at Mount Lofty and one in Ashton.
It's is a fine, fragrant Pinot, full of florals and red fruits, with pomegranate and cranberry flavours galore. Ethereal, featherweight but with some delayed savoury length and power.
Full of character and always highly rated by the critics, this is surely one of the finest Pinots in the Hills.
About Murdoch Hill
Murdoch Hill is a family-owned winery captained by talented young winemaker Michael Downer.
Downer splits the range in two: his clean-cut, consistently high-quality ‘Estate’ wines are excellent value and perpetually reliable, and his quirky, adventurous ‘Artisan’ wines which offer an alt-styling and different shades of the region.
With the combination of high-quality Adelaide Hills fruit grown on the family estate and the undoubted talent in the winery, this is a Hills producer on the up and up!

Critic Reviews
"From 2 sites in the Piccadilly Valley, wild fermented with 35% whole bunches. Matured for 9 months with 10% new barrels in the mix. All the woody herbal and spice elements of the region and variety, with a unique nub of lifted fragrance and sweet cherry right in the core of the palate, in a style that has developed over the years with a waft of wood smoke. All of this makes for a mighty fine expression." - Tony Love (Halliday Wine Companion)

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).
