Description

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.

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.


89 Points - "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)

90 Points - "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)

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.
