Description

The Turkey Flat Grenache is one of the safest bets in Barossa Valley wine.

Sourced from vines over a century old, this is a full-bodied, concentrated style of Grenache that could sit in the Macquarie Dictionary under the 'Barossa Grenache' description.

The team at Turkey Flat tend these vineyards with the most fastidious care to give winemaker Mark Bulman the best possible fruit to play with.

Over the last few years, this has been one of the most highly awarded Grenache wines in the country. If you've never tried a serious style of Grenache from the Barossa, you won't find a better place to start.

Beautiful floral and spiced aromatics, bright fruit that fills out into more complex spiced and savoury characteristics, and strong tannins that will ensure longevity.

Turkey Flat has more than 25 years experience in making Grenache. This older variety for South Australia has a natural home in the Barossa, although respect for the variety as a maker of fine wine has only recently been achieved. It has been an important part of the Turkey Flat range since 1992.

95 Points - "For this price, it's astounding that the lion's share of the grenache in this wine hails from 100+yo estate-grown vines; we are indeed a lucky country. A vibrant red-fruited aromatic blast with hints of ginger cake, cola, exotic spice, purple flowers and light Turkish delight lift. Juicy and pure, yet with a stony, savoury lean on the finish. Consistently delightful drinking and a regional classic." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

94 Points - "An outlying expression here but excellent in its way. Peppery, herbal lift over raspberry and cranberry fruitiness – palate and bouquet are in synch here. Lively, whole bunch or younger pick influenced expression with vitality and freshness on its side. A little minty, but like it, and the tannins are herb-laced, firm, long and fine. Excellent, vibrant feel." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

93 Points - "Deep ruby colour into a purple rim. Blackberry bracken and mocha aromatics. It fills the palate with intense dark fruit and herbal layers. Firmly structured with a dark-mineral undertone. There’s no doubting the seriousness of this wine as it moves to the long and lingering finish." - Stuart Knox (The Real Review)

    Gets better with time

    Started very light but with some time in the decanter the deeper peppery notes started to come through with a bit of dryness

    A Grenache to Trump Shiraz

    Substance and subtlety. And the likelihood of more of both with extra bottle ageing.

    Move over Shiraz! I want more of this stunning Grenache!

    This is an amazing wine

    One of the most drinkable wines I've ever bought. Light hues and so juicy.

    It's needs a bit of air at the moment, but the quality is there. Structure, flavour, slight sour character that accompanies many of the more serious Grenache, but there's ample fruit without being too sweet.

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.
