Description

"Opposite to the powerhouse that is our Barbera Rosé, we strived to make something lighter and a bit more delicate... A slightly chalky texture with a lovely cherry and watermelon finish."
- Mauricio Cantu

Here's a fun little Rose from Mauricio Cantu at Somos Wines.

It's a blend of Dolcetto, Grenache and Barbera, made as a lighter, more refreshing 'rosado' style in opposition to his full-flavoured Barbera Rose.

Simple, slurpable and screaming for summer, this is a lovely addition to the somos stable. Delicious and dangerously drinkable while the weather is warm.

The Rosado and Amigos is a pretty and light rosé made from a unique blend of varieties, which create an interesting and frisky little number. It's a blend of 56% Dolcetto, 46% Grenache, and 4% Barbera.

Opposite to the powerhouse that is our Barbera Rosé, we strived to make something lighter and a bit more delicate. The Dolcetto and Grenache marry beautifully with candied aromas, slushed around with juicy cranberries and a lovely jasmine floral character. That little bit of Barbera gives it a bit more acid, texture, and length, and ties the whole thing together. A slightly chalky texture with a lovely cherry and watermelon finish.

All varieties pressed and fermented separately. The Dolcetto saw virtually zero skin contact, and the Grenache was bled off from the Garnacha and Amigos ferment. The Barbera was whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented. Once the wine was blended it spent 3 months on lees.

Somos

Mexican winemaker Mauricio Ruiz Cantu is creative mind behind this exciting McLaren Vale project, with the wines exported back to South & Central America as well as sold through just a handful of outlets and venues locally in Australia.

His focus is on 'alternative' varieties from sustainably managed vineyards - Mauricio's Aglianicos and Vermentinos being of particular note. The Somos unique wines are made with a deft touch, not fully natural but absolutely in the more lo-fi end of the winemaking pool.

The resulting wine styles are colourful, perfumed, balanced, and bursting with personality. And universally, they offer terrific value for money.

Just minuscule volumes produced, but great fun to be had across the Somos range.

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.
