Description

This little Grenache from Charles Oliver is a really gorgeous and expressive light red.

The fruit comes from the certified organic Shay's Flat vineyard in the Pyrenees, getting three separate picks and parcels of fruit. Some got stomped by foot, some de-stemmed before pressing, and some with a whole bunch portion, then a 6 month sleep in oak.

Super light, aromatic and all around seductive. Pop it in the fridge and you're good to go.

Fruit is sourced from the famed Shay’s Flat vineyard (certified organic) nestled in the Landsborough Valley, Pyrenees. This wine is made up of three different picking dates with three different fermentation methods utilized. The first pick was early for a rosé base. I crushed the grapes by foot and left them to soak in their juice overnight, basket pressing them the next day. The second pick was two weeks later, for a little more development in the ripeness. The grapes were separated from their stems and left to ferment for five days before being basket pressed and transferred to seasoned oak for its winter rest. The third pick was for the ‘22 Shay’s Flat Grenache table red, seeing 25% whole bunch within a 10 day ferment. Only a small seasoning of this pick went into the final Jus d’amour blend. After 6 months rest in oak, the parts were assembled with a little sulphur and transferred to bottle, sans fining and filtering.

This is a very very light red, perfect for the coming months festivities. Works well with a chill, so better grab a couple of bottles and fill your summer eskies.

95 Points - "What we have here is one of the finest, light, fresh reds I have drunk from Australia... Sheesh, what a drink! I drank this cold from the fridge. It’s a few pay grades up from rose, no doubt, but it comes with that level of refreshment factor and spark. It’s pomegranate juice, black cherry juice, a touch of cola, some fennel notes and a scrub of Aussie bush character faintly jostling with a pretty dusting of white pepper. The palate is on speed, silky with faint grip, succulent, so fresh-feeling and thirst quenching overall. A crispness comes with each sip; a full palate reset and away you go. Beautiful to drink, stellar in fine detail, a brilliant, fine boned wine." - Mike Bennie (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.
