Description

Winemaker Andrew Wardlaw has been making low-intervention wines in the Barossa & Eden Valleys since 1996.

His gentle touch is producing gorgeous, seductive wines with a true sense of place. He uses basket presses and gravity to move the juice around, preserving all the natural deliciousness of his Eden Valley Syrah.

Fruit from five different vineyards combine here into a spicy, sexed up Syrah that is seriously remarkable value for money.

If you feel like dipping your toe into natural wines, this is a safe (and delicious) place for you to start.

Think bright deep violet colour, violets, roses and raspberry/blackberry nose, velvet pallet which makes you want more.

91 Points - "Fresh berry and floral flavours are to the fore here but it's more than that, and different to that. It feels a bit wild, a bit loose, a bit natural, with orange peel and nuts, a general volatility, some dark chocolate characters, some sweet kirsch. It's soft but it has that riverbed of silt as its base; there's a murky wet-clay feel running beneath the super-fresh, hair-flung-free flow of fruit. There's a combination for you. This isn't a wine for technocrats but then, wines like this are like a walk in a forest; we're In The Environment here. It has that real feel. I'm giving this a good score, if not a great one, with the proviso that I would drink this any day of the week, in a heartbeat." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

92 Points - "Old-vine Springton syrah co-fermented with 1% each roussanne and viognier, aged for 12 months in large oak. Vibrant purpley red in the glass with notes of slurpy blueberry, juicy plum, boysenberry and mulberry. Hints of orange peel, wild herbs, souk-like spice and warm earth. Fragrant in the mouth with a jasmine-tinged, super-juicy fruit profile. It comes across as a bit natty and there is an undeniable air of joyous drinkability here." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Savoury goodness

    Lots of interesting stuff happening here - fruit, funk, acid, all on a salty/savoury base. Delicious.

    Scintillating Syrah

    Superb value here. Beautiful fruit character, some savoury flavours, medium weight and lots of length. Punches well above it’s weight. Classic Syrah style from the Eden Valley.

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.
