Description

Back when Mark Kirkby was planting the vineyard 15 years ago, he was under the impression they'd planted Petit Manseng... but a bit of DNA testing on the vines has revealed it's actually Gros Manseng!

Honestly, we're not bothered by which Manseng it is when it tastes this good.

Juicy, bright and fresh, with supercharged complex flavours and a long, saline mineral finish. There's a glorious texture to the wine too, making it a perfect match with a wide range of food.

The 2021 is a very elegant wine with subdued but complex aromas of white flowers and all kinds of juicy citruses. Taut lemony acidity gives the wine enormous vibe and energy to carry on lemon and grapefruit flavours to a long salty finish. Wine with long life ahead! Perfect wine to be drank by the glass but it provides enough texture to accompany wide range of food.

95 Points - "Topper’s excels with the variety, producing one of Australia’s most compelling wines with it, or so I say. Oft overlooked! At the price this is a compelling offer. What a delight this is. Full in texture, deep in flavour and scent, loaded with quince, preserved lemon and ginger and cinnamon spice. Feels well seasoned, savoury with cashew nuttiness and then lush with soft, ripe citrusy characters and yet finishes impossibly long and fresh with briny-minerally acidity. Geez, this has so much mojo. A stellar white wine, complex, layered, yet bright and lively despite the apparent richness. It presses so many buttons. Serious stuff." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

95 Points - "Hats off to manseng! Here it’s all eclectic aromas of candied orange rind, apricot, dried pineapple, honeysuckle blossom, ginger root and chamomile tea. Baked clay and tangerine are alive on the palate, with thrilling acidity and a toasted kernel character that lingers. Alluring and full of charisma, this is a wine of great energy." - Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)

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.
