Description

Gruner Veltliner, native to Austria, seems to be finding a happy home away from home in the cool climes of Tasmania.

This rendition from Sinapius endeavours to build a larger frame around typically slender Gruner, with a little skin contact before pressing and some time spent in oak before bottling.

It's spicy, it's textural, it shows the classic green, herbaceous notes that the variety is known for - and it delivers it with class.

Estate grown Grüner Veltliner. Crushed to press, naturally fermented and matured in large and small format oak. Full malolactic fermentation. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

White flowers and ripe honey dew notes on the nose, citrus, freshly cut pear and mineral notes on the palate, beautifully balanced with a creamy texture and long finish.

89 Points - "Colour and texture, it has a good deal of both. It’s a pulpy wine with grapefruit, apple, citrus and brine characters pushing throughout. It finishes dry and at this stage a little abbreviated, or at least not as long as you might hope. But it’s only recently been bottled and it’s easy to see this fleshing out and extending in coming months. Character though, it has plenty." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

90 Points - "Mid-straw in the glass with youthful green hues. Lifted aromas of melon skin, lemon pith, wintergreen and oyster brine. Rich, textured and layered on the palate, full of white stone fruit and melon flavours along with a cool, tangy acid drive that keeps the palate crunchy and fresh. There’s a touch of grip on the finish that delivers mouth-feel and length." - Aaron Brasher (The Real Review)

    Best Gruner Veitliner we have tasted in Australia

    The 2019 Sinapius Close Planted Gruner Veltliner is the best Gruner Veitliner we have tasted in Australia. It is fresh, beautifully balanced, flavourful and delicious drop.

    Highly recommended.

Sinapius

Sinapius is a premium boutique Tasmanian winery started by two young, passionate winemakers.

The couple, Vaughn Dell & Linda Morice, purchased the site when they were only 24-years-old and chose to plant their vines in the Burgundian fashion opting for high-density planting and low-yielding crops. Their small labour of love has budded into one of Tasmania's most exciting viticultural projects.

Vaughn passed away tragically in 2020, however, the Sinapius label continues under the guidance of Linda and the help of some loving friends. The Sinapius wines are of extremely high quality, made in small amounts and showcase their unique patch of dirt with transparency, purity and power.

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.
