Description

Known for crafting wines with clarity and charm, Feudo Arancio continues to raise the bar with this beautifully aromatic and refreshing Sicilian Grillo.

Sourced from sandy, sunlit vineyards in Acate, Ragusa, this 100% Grillo is vinified with precision. The grapes are harvested in mid-September, pressed and fermented under controlled conditions to preserve the fruit’s natural vibrancy. Maturation on lees for five months in stainless steel adds depth and texture, while maintaining the wine’s bright, lively profile.

It shows tropical aromas of mango and papaya, with floral hints of jasmine and orange blossom lifting from the glass. On the palate, it’s fresh and light-bodied, with juicy citrus and white florals balanced by a subtle minerality and delicate acidity. The finish is clean and moreish, making it hard to stop at just one glass.

Perfect for simply sipping in the sun, the 2023 Grillo is an easy-going crowd-pleaser that delivers fantastic value.

Top 20 Drinks of 2024
"I’m not quite sure how Feudo Arancio is able to produce this wine at this quality - or how it can end up on a bottle shop shelf on the other side of the world - for just 20 bucks. But I’m rather glad it can, and it does, because it’s one of the best value wines I tried all year. Enticing floral perfume, some sun-kissed golden fruit aromas, refreshingly crisp on the tongue, it’s the kind of white you want to have on standby for barbecues."

91 points - "Another of those traditional Italian varieties, here from Sicily, that we so rarely encounter down under. For some years, we have enjoyed Grillo from this producer and they seem to get better and better every vintage. Terrific value. Deep yellow/gold in colour, the nose opens with notes of stewed pears. There is a minerally backing and we have hints of orange blossoms and lemon curd. The texture is supple, seductive and supported by juicy acidity. Enjoy this now and for the next three years. Lovers of good Pinot Gris will find themselves very much on board with this wine." - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)

One of our best sellers. This is a versatile, delicious and light-bodied white wine that will suit almost any occasion.

Colour: Deep straw yellow.
Nose: Distinctly tropical aromas of mango and papaya with hints of jasmine and white florals.
Palate: A wine that shows balanced citrus fruit and floral characters and delicate acidity. Light, aromatic, more-ish and very good with light seafood dishes and salads.

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.
