Description

The Scorpo Bestia Pinot Grigio, as its name suggests, is a bit of a beast – though it's still quite loveable.

Made through the use of skin contact, where the grape skins rest in the wine before, during and/or after fermentation, the first thing you notice is the brilliant amber colour. The next thing you'll notice are the heady, spicy aromas, with its mix of cranberry, orange zest, herbs and smoke – not what you might expect from a Pinot Grigio. The skins contact gives the wine an awesome texture, which is mainly in the savoury realm.

This is a great wine to have with food where you can truly appreciate its savouriness and texture.

100% Pinot Grigio

Hue between burnt orange and a Mutabilis rose. Rich aromatics, spicy, heady.

Aroma – Red ‘Sensation’ pear . Oranges. Morello cherry. Refined Palate grippy, wonderful texture. Briny, spicy, intense, exotic. Savoury phenolics. Flavours of Mandarin, orange jube, mixed with pears. Citrus pith and exotic spices accompany the long finish

Winemaking

Ripe grapes are harvested – 30% Wholes bunch, 70% Destemmed in an open top fermenter. 5 day cold soak, indigenous ferment over two weeks. Pressed after 30 days total. Aged for 12months in French oak barriques.

93 Points - "When pinot gris gets some love, attention and a makeover, it can morph into something more interesting. How? 25% whole bunches, 4 days' cold soak, 11 days on skins, wild fermentation, then pressed to used old oak for about 10 months. It’s like a rosé on steroids: plush, skinsy and phenolic yet so well handled. Complex aromas and flavours of potpourri, cranberry, dried orange rind, bitter herbs and wood smoke. The palate is all about texture, mostly savoury and finishes very dry. Moreish and incredibly satisfying; even better with antipasti, especially lardo." Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

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.
