Description

The Central Otago Pinot Noir is the darkest and most muscular of the Scout Pinot Noirs.

If you like your Pinot fresh and frisky, go the Marlborough, but if you prefer a darker fruit spectrum then the Central Otago is for you.

Having said that, in the context of most Central Otago Pinot Noir, this sits in the lighter end of the spectrum. With wonderful vibrancy and balance, it's a well priced Pinot from this part of the world.

This is a blend of two sites - the Muirkirk vineyard in Bannockburn (situated on Felton Road) has a rich, loamy-based soil. The second site is the Van Der Mark vineyard in Bendigo. Located on the Bendigo terrace at 400m elevation, it is a stony, schist-based soil with a northerly aspect. The soil is poor and tough resulting in the vines producing small amounts of fruit with great concentration, spice flavour and a fine tannin profile.


The fruit was hand-picked and wild fermented with 70% and 30% whole-bunch for the Bannockburn and Bendigo sites respectively. The ferments were pumped over and only plunged three times each day to avoid over-extraction in a small berry year like 2021. The Bannockburn wine was pressed after 14 days for brightness and energy, while the Bendigo wine was left for 30 days to develop those fine, spicy tannins. Pressed and aged in old French oak barriques and puncheons.

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.
