Description

Predominantly Shiraz, with 1/5th Grenache, each grape was vinified on its own, before being blended prior to bottling.

A bright and expressive nose loaded with red and darker fruits. On the palate there is a juiciness yet also a bold spicy milk chocolate-like tannin. The Shiraz provides depth and dark fruits, while the Grenache brings vibrant energy and aromatics.

Old-vine Grenache, and Shiraz grown on the famous sandy soils of the Vale, combined here in a great value bottle of wine.

2020 was a challenging year and a challenging vintage. A very hot and dry spring and some very strong winds over flowering lead to shorter shoot length and poor fruit set which meant lower yields overall. McLaren Vale was very lucky avoid the bushfires and smoke taint from the fires in the Adelaide Hills and Kangaroo Island. After a bumpy start, the ripening season ended up being relatively cool and extended with the resultant fruit showing great concentration of flavour and lovely bright natural acidity.

91 Points - "Blackberry, raspberry, a little spice, chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, plenty of flavour, some chew to it, slightly salty, but with something of a 'mineral' feel, chocolate and roses, and a satisfying toasty finish. Good stuff." Gary Walsh (Wine Front)

92 Points - "Dark, deep and youthful in colour. Dark-fruited aromas, blackberry, mulberry, spice, bouquet garni and a cool mintiness. Juicy and fleshy on the palate, there's ample tannin and acidity to keep the lush fruit in check. Plenty of blood plum, cassis and creamy oak. Long and layered." Aaron Brasher (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.
