Description

With its ability to thrive in drought, and its resistance to disease, Aaron Mercer sees Vermentino as the ideal representation for sustainable grape-growing in the future, with the warm-climate Hunter Valley a perfect match for the variety.

Bright and full of citrus freshness, this Bianco from Mercer wines, is fresh and energetic, with nice salinity, good length, and a fresh finish.

It would be easy to envision sipping this on a warm spring afternoon, whiling away lockdown, and imagining the tapas you’d love to be enjoying with it, while drinking at your beach shack getaway.

Vermentino ripens late, yet retains naturally high acid, so the cooler 2021 season joyously coupled to make an electric, pure and citrus driven wine. Half was aged in 8 year old French puncheons on full solids, post ferment, whilst the other portion was stored in stainless, on lees. No fining paired with heavy lees work produces a pithy, textured palate,

93 Points - "Grown on the (once famous) Roxburgh vineyard in the Upper Hunter Valley, a section of vines grafted over to Vermentino.

Very good Vermentino here. White flowers, sea spray, lemon zest and grapefruit. Some flesh and glycerol feel to texture, but bright with tangy citrus flavour and acidity. Plenty of crunch and energy, and a fine dusty texture rolling out on a brine and ripe grapefruity finish of good length. Nicely done." Gary Walsh (Wine Front)

Mercer

Hunter Valley native Aaron Mercer has been involved in the wine game for over 20 years, starting from the very bottom, scrubbing tanks.

While he has experience across the globe, he’s made a name for himself in Australia through his previous role at organic pioneers, Tamburlaine.

Now back in the Hunter, Aaron sources sustainably grown fruit from across NSW for his wines.

This is an exciting new project, part of a new wave of NSW producers doing things their own way. With a great range of wines, it a label to keep your eyes on.

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.
