Description

The range of wines from Cobaw Ridge in the Macedon Ranges is now ridiculously good, and their slender, cool-climate Pinot Noir is further testament to that.

It is slender in feel, but textured and incredibly complex with a lovely balance between perky red fruits and classic autumnal undergrowthy savouriness. Drink or cellar, it's a no-lose situation.

Father and son, Alan and Josh Cooper, are climbing the steps to the podium of iconic Australian wine producers but would probably be embarrassed to wave from the top. But they should.

Our wine is allowed to express the season in which it was grown, 100% estate grown made and bottled. Our commitment is to quality in all aspects of vine management and wine making. All vineyard operations performed by the vignerons. Great wine is made in the vineyard, not the winery. Utilising the natural balance of our vines, most more than 25 years of age.

93 Points - "Given its cool-climate location, there’s a thread of cooler flavours and attributes from alpine herbs to wild strawberries with morello and pink cherries. A strong fragrance of the landscape in eucalyptus, river mint and warm earth with charred radicchio come to the fore with juicier fruit on the medium-bodied palate. Raw silk tannins and plenty of refreshing acidity add to the pleasing texture." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

91 Points - ""A very minty release here, near dominating the bouquet and palate, so strap in for that. Red cherry too, raspberry, some sooty spices and autumnal notes, touch of game meat if not a bit more. Lots to like. Supple palate, fine boned, cool acidity and again a meaty finish. Love the texture, love the freshness. The overt mint thing does distract. Go on the journey, let’s say." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

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.
