Description

This is a smooth, easy-riding blend of the holy trinity of Barossa red varieties.

Built by Jason Schwarz to be slurped while in its youth, it's a perfect mid-week sipper with a little flesh on the bones.

This is decidedly on the fresher side of Barossa Valley reds and is ready to roll for your pasta night at home.

The 2021 vintage of The Grower GSM is a blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro that perfectly showcases the Barossa’s most popular red varieties.
Seventeen different parcels of fruit were used from nine
different growers coming from the sub regions of Marananga
in the West, Stockwell in the North, Eden Valley in the East and
Bethany in the South. The fruit was picked according to flavours in the vineyard and 13% of whole bunch fruit was used in ferments. All fruit was fermented separately in open top fermenters using wild/indigenous yeast. Pump overs, hand plunging and foot stomping were used according to desired outcomes and whole bunch portions in each fermenter. Once the individual fermenters had reached optimal flavours they were pressed and racked to French oak Puncheons and Hogs Heads with 50% of the wine staying in small tanks to maintain crispness and freshness in the finished wine.

96 Points - "Medium-deep crimson. Intense blackberry, musky plum hint strawberry aromas with charcuterie notes. Seductive plate with fresh buoyant dark berry meaty flavours, chocolatey textures, lovely mid-palate richness and acid line. Lovely fruit complexity, richness of flavour and structure." - Andrew Cailard MW (The Vintage Journal)

92 Points - "Opaque core into a deep purple rim. Plum preserve and mocha aromas. The palate offers more complexity and savoury, meaty undertones than the nose suggested with a fine-grained tannic framework keeping the plum fruits flowing well into a long and dry finish. This would also offer further interest alongside a meal" - Stuart Knox (The Real Review)

90 Points - "Black and blue fruits, a little spice and dried herb. Medium-bodied, juicy dark berries, some toast and chocolate, maybe some pepper, with a light chew to tannin, and a plump finish of good length. Good drinking. Affable." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

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.
