Description

Winemaker James Turpie fell in love with Gewurztraminer after working in Central Otago, and couldn't resist the chance to make one under his own label.

After hand picking the fruit from Coppabella Vineyard in Tumbarumba, 50% was destemmed while the other half was left as whole bunches. It sat for months on its fine lees, giving a generous texture that enhances the whole drinking experience.

Keeping true to the variety, you'll find it full of gorgeously lifted tropical aromatics, with a little hit of phenolic grip and a light gingery spice complexity. Just like James, you'll fall in love with Gewurz after this too!

The Gewurztraminer is from Tumbarumbas' Coppabella Vineyard. Hand-picked, half the fruit was destemmed, and left to soak overnight, and the other half was left as whole bunches. The next day both portions were pressed to tank where it enjoyed a healthy and cool primary ferment using indigenous yeasts. The wine was then matured for 6 months on fine lees, and bottled with 8g/L residual sugar to give the wine a little more generosity and enhance the beautiful aromatics of the Gewurz. It is a very varietal expression of the grape - lychees, mandarin, lavender, vanilla, incredibly lifted, but has lovely phenolic richness adding a ginger spice complexity and combining with the balanced acidity to give the wine great length and vibrancy. Unfined, scant use of sulphur. </p.

93 Points - "Greasy slick of ripe mandarin and light lychee, a lick of rose water and a skittish tang of orange sherbet acidity. Good concentration and on the flip-side also very refreshing. This has a groovy, good times feel, and it’s smart. Drinkability is high, delivering lots of gewurz DNA but also a good deal of interest, and, it seems, a light, yeasty-oatmeal savoury vein. Delicious, really. Very good." - 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.
