About This Wine
Born of a desire to showcase the unique terroirs on the Mornington, this Quartier Pinot Noir from Port Phillip Estate comes off 2 vineyards in Tuerong and Balnarring.
It’s quite a spicy MP wine, while still showcasing the classic red and black berries that the region's Pinots are known for. Medium-bodied, the wine is juicy and approachable while still offering structure and a distinct tannin profile.
A unique offering that stands apart from the classic style of the region - which is a good thing, adding an extra layer of interest.

From The Producer
The fruit for this wine was sourced from vineyards in Tuerong and Balnarring. The fruit was fermented in open vats. Fermentation occurred spontaneously with ambient yeasts and lasted 16 to 18 days. The wine underwent indigenous malolactic fermentation. The maturation period was ten months in French oak barriques, puncheons (10% new), and large format foudre. The wine was bottled without fining and with minimal filtration.

Critic Reviews
"Strawberry, spice, a bit of smoke and sap. Light to medium in body, kind of smoky and sappy again, with squished strawberry, light grainy tannin, maybe slightly soapy too, with orange peel on a modest finish. Drink now. Has interest." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
"Medium to light ruby to brick-red colour, with a trace of purple at the rim. The bouquet is smoky, meaty charcuterie-like and quite complex, while the wine is light on its feet, mild in extract and concentration but attractively flavoured and balanced." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

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.
