Description

If only all 'entry-level' estate wines were of this quality. Prinz is just a great organic/ biodynamic producer from the Rheingau in Germany.

The Rieslings from Rheingau tend to be on the drier side, with lots of depth and power. This has wonderful floral and herbal aromatics and a refreshing chalky mouthfeel but it is concentration and intensity of the fruit core that really impresses.

A succulently-impressive Riesling that could be served as the highlight of any meal...

"The grapes for this "Gutsriesling" wine come from plots - similar to the wines of the "Jungfer" site - which, in addition to loess and clay, have a high proportion of sandy quartzite.

The quartzite absorbs the heat of the sun during the day and releases it back to the vines at night. This is also decisive for the strong minerality and freshness and the good shelf life.

The grapes for this wine were harvested in mid and late September. They were light green to golden yellow and ripe.

After the harvest, the grapes were pressed directly and the partial batches were fermented in stainless steel for between 3 and 6 weeks and left on the fine lees until January.

92 Points - "Floral, aniseed, green apple and lemon oil. It has crunch and zip, but also plenty of flavour and weight, some green herbs, pleasing flinty texture and a finish of good length. Good drinking here." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

95 Points - "An array of meadow, spice and blossom aromas open the door to a precisely shaped palate of lime, Granny Smith apple and granitic acidity. This is unabashed power, albeit with the perfect balance that will pay endless rewards over the next 20-plus years. 12.5% alc." - James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)

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.
