He's throwing back to old-school Australian naming conventions with the \"Dry Red\" moniker on the label, but the liquid inside is pure new-wave McLaren Vale. The fruit comes from Fiona Wood’s prized 1960s vines planted in the classic deep sands right on the Blewitt Springs border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooper uses a double harvest to balance early-pick vibrancy with deeper ripeness. He leans heavily on whole clusters and extensive skin contact before putting it into old wood. Give this a bit of air or a decent swirl in a big glass because it’s got a wild, slightly feral streak that needs a moment to shake loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce it settles, it's a beautifully eccentric drop. Think dried botanical herbs, tart red currants, and an earthy, gamey undertone. It’s medium-bodied and drives on an assertive, gravelly tannin profile rather than sweet fruit plumpness, hitting a savoury, structural finish that feels totally Italianate. Cooper is pushing boundaries here and we love the direction he's heading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There’s an Italianate quality to this – freisa echoes perhaps – with a coolness through it, though flavours are certainly ripe.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Oria-Riff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44203481595947,"sku":"2025 Oria-Riff Old Vine Grenache Dry Red","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024Oria-RiffOldVineGrenacheDryRed_f9447faf-e615-467b-af35-29a714b9e5ee.png?v=1783474070","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-oria-riff-old-vine-grenache-dry-red","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
