Description

Now this is an impeccably crafted GSM.

Grenache takes up the majority of the blend, bursting full of juicy berries and enticing aromatics, Shiraz brings the spice and Mataro brings an extra bit of depth and 'oomph'.

Drinkbility factor is way up, with each variety happily swaddled by the others. Kind of impossible to put down, really. This is the kind of wine to keep a couple handy for a rainy day.

Certified organic and biodynamic. Low preservative. Vegan friendly.
GSM is a blend we love to make and drink in McLaren Vale. Our GSM is blended seamlessly, a vibrant and lively wine bursting with delicious cherry and plum flavours. Being a blend of three varieties, our GSM has lovely and varied aromas and flavours to delve into. Notes of dark olive, plum, red spice and hints of rosemary fill the glass. The wine is delightfully vibrant with flavours of cherry, plum and dried herb. Cinnabar is a beautifully balanced, medium bodied wine with elegant structure and chalky tannins.

95 Points - "This is a slick, aspirational and highly professional operation. I may have been critical of certain elements in the past, but the estate is on the way up. 60%/34%/6% grenache/shiraz/mataro. As is the wont here, the ferment is kicked off spontaneously before a pied de cuve to ensure stability and palpable dryness. Fermented in tank, concrete eggs and large oak. Aged in wood for 9 months. A fine nose reminiscent of Asian plum, pumice, kirsch, thyme and rosemary of the Southern Rhône. Nothing is heavy, desiccated, too sweet or out of sorts. A swathe of chalky, pungent tannins corral, direct, impart tension and make me salivate for the next glass. Exceptional GSM." - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)

94 Points - "Dark raspberry, plum, cherry chocolate, a little spice, with a floral and dried herb perfume. Medium-bodied, a juicy mix of berries with an earthy edge, fresh with balanced acidity and a light chew from tannin, and good length. The thing about it I like most, is that while it has flavour, it tastes dry and has no trace of confected fruit or sweetness. Lovely. Great value. Classic GSM." - Gary Walsh (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.
