About This Wine
From their 50 year-old vineyard in the Macedon Ranges, this old-vine Riesling from Granite Hills, has some serious pedigree.
Pure and crystalline, the aromas and flavours on this wine are as powerful as they are pristine. Citrus, spice, grapefruit and slate, all combine to entice, while being framed by distinct natural acidity.
Highly regarded and awarded over its illustrious history, this Riesling is a stunning drink now, with so much potential for ageing as well.
About Granite Hills
Granite Hills is one of Australia’s highest and most picturesque vineyards – perched atop the spectacular boulder-strewn hills of the Great Dividing Range at 550 metres altitude, and only one hour’s drive north of Melbourne.
Since the first plantings back in 1970, owner and winemaker Llew Knight has been a trailblazing viticulturist, with a passion for cool-climate varieties. Historic success with Shiraz and Riesling has now been expanded to Gamay and Gruner Veltliner.

Critic Reviews
"Inviting aromas of lemon curd and grapefruit pith, clean and fresh, the palate bright and fresh but also soft and seamless and surprisingly easygoing. There's a trace of richness in spite of a near-dry balance, and then and clean finish that lingers long." Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

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).
