Description

If you’re keen to know how this wine went from subtle obscurity to global phenomenon, seemingly overnight, look up Action Bronson.

The New York Chef turned Rapper featured it on an episode of his TV show (coincidentally shot in Sydney’s 10 William St venue), and almost overnight this became the cult wine everyone needed to try (one of wine-searcher.com’s top 20 searched).

So light, bright and crunchy, yet so much more, there is this innate quality to this wine, where you truly feel as though you’re tasting the place where it came from, the rich volcanic soil of Etna. It’s not for nothing that the term volcano wine has well and truly entered into the wine lexicon of the world, and Susucaru has definitely played a prominent role in that.

93 Points - "A mix of local grapes makes a wine that has more cult status than the Branch Davidians. Hype! Meanwhile… It delivers a really pleasing, dry rosé of big savoury vibes, a faint juiciness, a crunch, a crispness, a tang, a red fruited core and plenty of dried herb and a general hubbub of pepper and briny mineral character. It feels more down the line, straight up, than its past iterations, but geez, it has a good vibe going on and drinkability is through the roof. It has a bit of darker fruit character to it this year, medium weight for the genre, which is pretty righteous, and the feel is of a pink wine of some serious mettle. Enjoyable, to the max." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    Perfect pizza night pairing.

    Fresh, fruity and deep of flavour. Enjoyed with our pizzas.

    Would definitely purchase again.

A field-blend of mostly Nerello Mascalese with other local varietals from our old vine vineyards: Nerello Capuccio, Allicante Boushet, Minella Nera, Uva Francesa and Minella Bianco. A wine with "high drinkability" combining body and character of Etna: elegance, structure, fragrance, and personality. Organic wine certification.

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.
