Description
The 2023 Vigna Cantina Trebbiano brings a fresh perspective to Barossa’s diverse vineyard history. Sourced from 120-year-old vines in Koonunga Hill, this wine highlights the region’s lesser-seen varietals and Dominic Torzi’s deft winemaking touch.
Organically farmed and handpicked, the Trebbiano grapes were fermented on skins for eight days before being basket-pressed to seasoned French oak barrels for eight months. This approach adds depth and texture while keeping the wine’s vibrant, citrus-driven energy intact.
Bright aromas of stone fruits, lemon verbena, and a subtle saline note lead into a palate that’s layered with zesty lemon, grapefruit, and hints of almond. Its texture is both refreshing and complex, with a savoury, saline finish that lingers.
Perfect for pairing with seafood or light dishes, it’s a wine that balances flavour, structure, and drinkability—proof that Barossa can do so much more than Shiraz.

"What a great wine. White peach, aniseed, ripe lemon like the proper Italian ones where you can eat the skin kind of deal, peanuts, lemon verbena. It’s bright and laden with sweet lemon and grapefruit, plenty of tang and energy, peppery powdery tannin grip, saline and savoury, with a pithy finish of excellent length. Almonds in the aftertaste."

"This has personality, like the great Abruzzo Trebbiano. It spends 8 days on skins and 8 months in old oak, which is just enough to pick up a golden, lemon walnut chewy pull with preserved lemon, lemon balm and this lemony phenolic tang. It’s throaty but crisp, full-flavoured and obviously intense yet not heavy. $28 for this? Ridiculous."
- Andrew Graham MW (Ozwine Review, June 2024)

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.
