Description

What an absolutely smashable, super aromatic and skinsy white blend from the Riverland! Organic grapes, minimal intervention, and plenty to love.

Winemaker (and chief "delinquente") Con-Greg Grigoriou is all about the lesser-known and super tasty Mediterranean grapes that thrive in Riverland wine country around the Murray. He sources grapes from organic growers, and treats them with care and lo-fi winemaking.

All wild yeasts with each varietal fermented separately in stainless. The Chardonnay is pressed off of skins immediately, with the Vermentino, Malvasia, and Arinto fermented on skins for up to two weeks.

Bottled unfiltered and unfined, ready to drink.

The combination of fruit forward, acid driven and aromatic varieties, combined with extended skin contact, creates a wine that is at once thought provoking, interesting, but also refreshing and delicious. Pine/lime Splice on the nose, the Malvasia really pops through up front. Mongo sorbet creaminess and tropical fruit open up the palate, while a gentle, round tannin, subtle bitterness and balanced acidity give great length to wine. Party at the front, business at the back, sort of deal.

The Bianco Macerato is an easy drinking, approachable skin contact white wine. Each parcel was fermented separately – the Fiano is pressed off skins straight away, while the other parcels were fermented on skins until sugar dry, up to 14 days. Each parcel was allowed to go through malolactic fermentation and settle out before being blended just prior to bottling.

Delinquente

Con-Greg Grigoriou makes interesting yet smashable wines from some unique fruit growing in the Riverlands.

Organically farmed in one of Australia's 'engine room' regions, these warm-climate alternative varieties offer a much more sustainable long-term proposition for our hotter, drier regions. Greg is right at the front of the pack of Australian producers championing these varieties.

His wines are all about fun times and chilled vibes. Bright, energetic and full of personality, these wines offer a great entry point for people looking to explore emerging varieties at a great price.

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.
