About This Wine
Made by Will Rickard-Bell from Rikard Wines, this skin-contact Pinot Gris comes from a vineyard high on Mt Canobolas in Orange, sitting at 950m elevation.
The rich volcanic soils of this extinct volcano, are fertile ground for grape-growing, producing fruit of exceptional depth and character. This Gris is a great entry point into skin-contact wines, not too grippy or phenolically structured, rather aromatic, and delicate. Light spice, softly-sweet stone fruit, with great cool-climate acidity.
One of those rare birds, and answer to the question; are wines from Orange, orange wines?

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).
