Description

This is Mike De Iuliis’ idea of the perfect knock-off rosé - dry, crisp, and ready to go as soon as it’s out of the fridge. Made from Shiraz and Merlot off the family’s Hunter Valley vineyard, it’s crafted with a light hand and meant for drinking, not overthinking.

The 2025 vintage was warm and fast-paced, but the fruit came in clean and full of flavour. A quick press and cool ferment have kept things bright and fresh, with just enough texture to make it feel grown-up. No sugar, no fuss - just a properly dry pink wine that’s as happy at a long lunch as it is on a sunny arvo with a few mates and a plate of charcuterie.

It’s not trying to be fancy. It’s just a really good rosé made by someone who loves to drink it.

    Outstanding Rose

    This is the second time I’ve had their rose with this blend and its bloody brilliant. Had a rose of theirs with a singe variety in the past and it was nice but not the same. At the price this is massive a winner. Matched it with a Provençal style lamb stew and happy days!

Fresh, Modern Hunter Valley Wines
This range represents a fresh take on Hunter Valley classics. State-of-the-art winemaking, combined with premium fruit, creates a quintessential collection of wines that are ready to enjoy right now.

The Story
Crafted from our family vineyards, where Merlot and Shiraz grapes flourish, this rosé is the result of dedicated care and thoughtful winemaking. A cool fermentation process preserves the delicate, nuanced aromas of the fruit. The result is an exceptional rosé that consistently delights.

The Wine
The 2025 Estate Rosé presents with a charming cotton candy hue and is crafted using a short skin-contact fermentation. The glass bursts with aromas of strawberry and peaches and cream, followed by a vibrant, fruit-forward palate of strawberry and raspberry, elevated by a refreshing line of acidity.

The Vintage
The 2025 vintage, marked by hot, dry weather, compressed harvest into just four weeks. Despite the pressure, the season delivered outstanding fruit quality. The dry conditions allowed the vines to thrive—an ideal scenario for our small-batch, family-led winemaking approach.

The Potential
This rosé is crafted to be light-bodied and refreshing, best enjoyed in its youth while its vibrant character is at its peak. It’s a perfect companion for leisurely lunches that stretch into memorable dinners.

The Match
Versatile and crowd-pleasing, this rosé is the quintessential wine for sunny gatherings with friends. Embracing the “drink pink, think pink” philosophy, it pairs effortlessly with a wide range of dishes, including:

De Iuliis

De Iuliis - pronounced [de uli ~ iss] - is one of the brightest stars from the Hunter Valley.

Owners Joss and Anna De luliis first planted vines on their estate in the famous Lovedale sub-region back in 1990, but it wasn’t until their son Mike got involved after graduating from the world-renowned Roseworthy campus (Adelaide University) in 1999 that things really took off.

Today Mike crafts an excellent array of site-specific wines that are a very good modern representation of what the Hunter Valley has to offer.

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.
