About This Wine
This single-vineyard Riesling from the Watervale sub-region of the Clare Valley, is the prestige release from Atlas. Produced from an exceptional site, this wine is certainly following its own path.
Quite clear in the glass, yet don’t let that deceive you. As it opens up the aromas and flavours unfurl before you, lovely sweet citrus character alongside a honeyed note provide a full-flavour experience. The texture is chalky, and chewy with great weight.
Very expressive right now, however, like all good Clare Riesling, there’s lots of cellar potential. Quite the steal for under $30, if you ask us.
About Atlas Wines
Inspired into the wine game by the taste of a 1965 Lindemans Hunter River Burgundy, winemaker Adam Barton’s path took him around Australia, and the globe, on his journey to the Clare Valley.
Alongside partner Amy Lane, a South Australian native, they founded Atlas wines in 2007, purchasing their first vineyard on the eastern slopes of the Clare.
With a great respect for the unique characters of the sites they work with, Adam and Amy aim to showcase the unique terroir of their grapes through their wines.

From The Producer
Made with fruit hand-picked from old dry-grown vines in the Watervale subregion of the Clare Valley, this single-vineyard wine has been carefully handled and is delicately expressive of its site. It is of incredible provenance and represents the pinnacle of our Riesling production.
The fruit was harvested, chilled and gently pressed in reductive conditions, and the free-run juice was allowed to settle at low temperatures before being racked and fermented using cultured yeasts. It was fermented to complete dryness then stabilised, filtered and bottled immediately to capture the natural freshness and fruit characteristics of the vineyard, and has been allowed to rest in the bottle prior to release.

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
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.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
