...it’s a joy to drink. It’s modern. It has flavour but it feels light on its feet.

About the Wine
Now this is definitely one of our best value reds.
Full of McLaren Vale plushness, yet perfectly medium-weight. Dark berry fruit, melted chocolate, vanilla spice...
Sourced from a mix of young and old Grenache vines in the Seaview and Willunga sub-regions of McLaren Vale.
Beautifully ripe fruit, handpicked with minimal intervention. Some old oak usage but background only.
About Little Giant
Nicholas Crampton has a knack for knocking out quality wines at an incredible price. Here's another straight up bargain from this serial wine entrepreneur.
The Little Giant label falls under his Fourth Wave wine umbrella. These wines are made to be rich, bold and full bodied yet maintain great drinkability - with as minimal additions as possible.
Easily recognised by the adorable little southern hairy-nosed wombat on the label (the state emblem of South Australia), they've teamed up with WIRES as a sponsor to support their unofficial mascot, too. Wholesome stuff.

From the Producer
The Little Giant Grenache is a wine that keeps on giving. A full bodied wine that has ample weight with ripe fruited intensity yet still feels fresh. Expressive red and dark berry fruit underpinned by hints of chocolate and subtle oak. The palate delivers soft tannins and ensures a lasting concentration of berry fruit vanilla and ground spices. Perfect with lamb shoulder and spicy cous cous.

Critic Reviews
"This isn’t a great example of McLaren Vale grenache and yet it’s a joy to drink. It’s modern. It has flavour but it feels light on its feet. It’s perfumed. It has sandy/spicy notes. It’s both red cherried and raspberried. It’s both sweet and savoury. And it’s good value. In short, it’s recommended." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
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).
