Description

The Minim Landsborough Vineyard Grenache comes from the Pyrenees vineyard of famed French winery Chapoutier, and the wine certainly has an Old World feel and appeal to it.

Fruit for this wine comes from a biodynamic vineyard in what is a cool-climate wine region. The grapes were picked later than usual in order to develop flavour ripeness, which certainly comes through in the wine. It's big, juicy and fragrant without being an alcoholic monster, with lots of red fruits, quince, cinnamon and star anise characters, and some slight herbaceousness on the palate.

It's already coming out of its shell now but feel free to cellar it for a few more years.

92 Points - "From the organic farmed Chapoutier vineyard in Pyrenees, Victoria. A fair whack of whole bunch in the mix.

"Fragrant, dark cherry, cocoa powder, white pepper, pickled plums. Supple and dark fruited to taste, shimmers with a firm swish of tannins, some sooty spice characters and salted liquorice to finish. Nicely done. It’s fresh and around medium bodied, brooding and serious in feel. Good gear." Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    Delicious local wine

    Really superb, drinkable but maintains interest. Just the right side of dry, with lovely plummy fruits.

Picked a little later physiologically this year to let flavor develop more fully on the vine. In the winery we fermented this fruit in two parts; a larger destemmed portion (65%) fermented in open stainless pots and a whole bunch portion fermented carbonically in closed tank. More extractive handling on the destemmed fruit, with daily pump overs to build tannic structure and colour, with the fruit pressed after 3 weeks to tank and then aged in seasoned puncheons for 9 months. The whole bunch ferment was pressed after 11 days to tank and moved to barrel after primary ferment for a further 9 months on fine lees. Barrel selection assembled this wine in December with bottling under Diam cork in February 2022 with a small sulphur addition.

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.
