Description

There's an exciting new development for this great site, talented and accomplished winemaker Peter Dredge now bringing the wines from these vines back into the public space.

Dredge has a deft touch with Pinot Noir, combining elements of reductive funk and earth with dazzlingly bright and pure fruit character. This is a smashing Pinot Noir. One to keep a close eye on as Dredge continues to get to know the site.

Highly recommended for fans of premium Tasmanian Pinot Noir.

Say hello to the latest vintage of our pinnacle red wine, the one and only Meadowbank Pinot Noir.

Think flavour, finesse and even more flavour! From its bright and vibrant colour in the glass, to it's trademark green strawberry smell which just screams "Meadowbank", to its taste which is brisk and ethereal, with just the right hit of acidic freshness - we are so excited to watch how this wine continues to develop!

In the winery, Pete allows each individual parcel of fruit to ferment on skins for two weeks, before the delicious red juice is pressed off and placed into mostly old French oak barrels (just 10% new). These barrels are put to bed for 9 months, before they are carefully blended to create the final masterpiece that now awaits you in bottle.

95 Points - "Pinot noir made by winemaker Peter Dredge from Gerald Ellis’ Meadowbank vineyard in the Derwent Valley. This a fine follow-up to the excellent 2021 wine. There is an instant appeal here as you pop your schnozz in the glass with spiced red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry coulis cut with hints of dried citrus blossom, smoked meats, sous bois, softly spoken cedary tones, struck flint and char siu. Fine, billowing river-silt tannins, a mineral-laden line and a nice umami nudge as the wine slowly retreats with gentle game, spice and savoury red fruits." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Everything to love about Pinot

    Good value pinot. Has all the usual suspects captured! (what a film :-)

    Fruity floral tones . Nice balanced acid across the palette. I could drink a lot of this...

    Delicate pinot but not for me

    Nice florals but too much of a delicate pinot for my liking. Perhaps some more years in the bottle will help but great for super soft pinot fans, perhaps great chilled in the summer too

    Utterly delicious

    Mouthfilling fruit and enough tannins to give it great character. RRP is $55 but I bought it from DD on sale - so thrilled with the purchase.

Meadowbank

Meadowbank is one of the oldest vineyards in Tasmania with the Ellis family having farmed this site since 1976.

This is one of the most important sites on the Apple Isle.

After taking a brief hiatus from producing their own wines, Meadowbank now has the formidable talents of winemaker Peter Dredge at their disposal.

With Dredge in the winemaking hot seat, Meadowbank is set to be one of the benchmark producers in Tasmania for many years to come.

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.
