About The Pack
At Different Drop, we celebrate the incredible diversity that exists across Australian wine. We celebrate the smaller independent producers who add the colour and creativity to our wine scene, away from the cookie cutter wines made by supermarkets and multi-nationals.
That's what the Different Drop Artisans Of Australia month is all about - shining a spotlight onto genuine Aussie wine artists who are courageous, passionate and authentic. To celebrate our Artisans of Australia month, we have curated this excellent mixed pack featuring six of these artisan producers - three from the old guard who have helped revolutionise their home regions - and three from the vanguard that we think represent the exciting future of Australian wine.
We will be tasting these wines LIVE on Instagram during the month of May with some special guests. Pick up one of these great value packs for yourself and tune in to toast the great artisans of this great brown land.
2021 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Pinot Noir
The TMV Pinot Noir is meant for earlier consumption than the more premium Dog and Wolf Pinot Noir by Ricky Evans.
It's a glimpse at the vintage for the Tamar Valley sub-region. But make no mistake, this is not your average 'entry level' Pinot Noir, this has an edge to it, a personality all of its own.
It's a cracking wine with immaculate fruit and a savoury backbone - a great representation of the quality being produced by a new wave of Tasmanian winemaking rock-stars.
Stocks are limited on this release, don't hesitate.

"So tasty, so crushable, so thirst-quenching, so damn enjoyable."
Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
For Sheriff Owen Latta The Wild West is the wine regions of Western Victoria, and this bouncy light red takes fruit from his home base in the Pyrenees, supported by grapes from across the western part of the state.
The grapes are a licorice allsorts affair featuring Mataro, Grenache, Shiraz, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Lagrein, and Shiraz. But that's not really the point.
The point is its insane, fun drinkability aligned with the vinous quality that defines Latta's minimalist wines. Drink it quick and fun, maybe with a chill, though it is pretty cool in its own right.

This wine from Bryan Martin is firmly ensconced as one of Australia's best value Sangioveses, and as you'd expect from that reputation, this release is yet another cracker.
Bryan's Sangiovese has always had that nice balance between Sangiovese's natural savoury varietal character and sheer drinkability. It's bursting with fruit, finishing dry and savoury, as is the varietal signature.
This is an awesome, authentic Sangiovese from one of Canberra's most exciting producers. If you're looking for a top quality wine to take along to your little local BYO pizza place, that's just what this was made for!

The S.C. Pannell 'Temp Touriga' has for many years now been one of Australia's most successful 'alternative variety' wines, and this is another flawless release.
Portuguese-inspired yet quintessentially Australian, it represents Steve's idea that wine should complement our climate and culture, not work against it. Amen to that.
Whether you're a lover of this wine or a Temp Touriga rookie, there is scarcely a better value red wine in McLaren Vale. Giddy up!

A beautifully different style of Margaret River Cabernet here from the effervescent Josephine Perry.
There are few, if any, other winemakers in Margaret River that would dare release their Cabernet Sauvignon without any new oak, but that is precisely what Jo chooses for her expression.
It's about fruit first and foremost, Jo trusting the vineyard and her instincts on when to pick to ensure that all structure in the wine is derived from the grape rather than an oak tree.
It's a gloriously elegant, graceful style of Cabernet - lifted and precise.

Pete Schell continues to explore the possibilities with Shiraz/Syrah in his beloved Barossa Valley, and this vibrant and lifted Syrah is a gorgeous drink.
Designed as a more understated and elegant version of Barossa Shiraz, Schell picks fruit from a couple of different, cooler sites in the Barossa and Eden Valleys. The grapes are picked earlier to retain freshness and perfume, before seeing a mixture of stainless steel and wooden and concrete fermenters.
Wild and savoury yet soft and sumptuous, this is Barossa Shiraz unlike we usually see it.
Interesting, flavour-packed and moreish, this is another winner from this superstar winemaker.

If your order is placed before 12pm we’ll get it on the truck that day. Delivery times vary considerably with Australia Post and unfortunately there is no Express Delivery Option for wine (because it is fragile and heavy). PLEASE NOTE that we are currently seeing significant delays in the Australia Post delivery network. Strict government health and safety requirements and very high parcel volumes are causing significant backlogs at the main NSW and VIC sorting facilities. Orders are still arriving safe and sound but you may notice slower delivery times and less frequent scanning updates than usual.

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 1300 668 385 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
