About This Wine
Taking a new lens to a regional classic, winemaker Ollie Margan, has produced a lighter fresher take on Hunter Shiraz, utilising a carbonic element to create something new.
With a touch of spicy spritz, the flavour profile on this wine is distinctly Hunter; berries, soft spice, however the lack of new-oak, and the lower ABV set it apart from the classic established style of the region.
About Margan
Established in the mid-90’s, Margan is a family run enterprise, only producing wines off their estate vineyards.
They produce both classic Hunter varietals (Chard/Shiraz/Sem), alongside an array of newer varietals that have begun popping up in the Hunter over the past decade or so.
Farming sustainably, they have over 100ha of vines planted mainly in the Fordwich sub-region of the Hunter.
Alongside their winery in Broke, they also have a 1-hat restaurant, known for sourcing most of their ingredients from the estate gardens they grow, and the animals they rear.

From The Producer
40yr old vines from our Timbervines site. Picked on the early side of 13. Whole berry ferment with no must rectification; carbonic derived confection was encouraged to a point. Pressed to stainless steel partway through ferment to minimize extraction. Sulphured and racked to bottle post malo- lactic fermentation with no filtration. Retains a slight effervescence. My interpretation of shiraz from our volcanic soil.
Blend : Shiraz (100%)
ABV : 7.7%
Closure : Screw cap
Drink Until : 2025

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).
