Description

This is a traditionally made Gamay from the King Valley in Victoria.

The fruit was destemmed and fermented, before going through its fermentation. There were no additions made during the winemaking process, it's pure Gamay love all the way.

It's a wine that shows the crunchy bright red fruits and earthy characters synonymous with the Old World examples of the variety.

To find the rustic charm and glorious drinkability of this style of Gamay in Australia is rare, even rarer at this price.

Hand picked fruit from John Darling's vineyard in Whitfield in the King Valley. Well-drained volcanic soils. This vintage was the first time that we de-stemmed the Gamay. Semi-Carbonic and pressed after 10 days on skins. Spent ten months on lees before being assembled for bottling

93 Points - "Supple, lightly chewy, sour cherry and game meat in spades. Excellent length, softness, grip of tannins comes in late and tightens things into beautiful shape. A sumptuous, delicious, superb expression here. Fresh gamay with savoury depth. Really good." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    Surprisingly disappointed

    at the beginning the wine doesn't shows any interesting characteristic, neither in the nose nor in the palate. It leaves me the impression of those natural wine wild yeast, no sulphites, natural fermentation etc. etc. etc. After a while it expresses fruit aromatics and juicy palate. That's about it, most probably old barrel, not seasoned well, left empty for too long. The wine is quite simple and minimalistic.

    Worth to try for the price but quite boring.

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.
