{"product_id":"discover-dr-edge-wines-pack","title":"Dr. Edge Tassie Tasting Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Dredge is Dr. Edge - one of the most accomplished and talented winemakers on the Apple Isle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDredge has a wealth of experience garnered at high-profile wineries across the country, including his current 'day job' at Meadowbank where he steers the ship. Dr. Edge is his personal passion project, with the enigmatic range including premium single vineyard explorations of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling, as well as a plethora of fun, smashable experimental creations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a tasting pack of six new release wines from Dr. Edge, including his excellent Riesling and the delicious 'Tyrannosaurus' dREDge Pinot Meunier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pack is extremely limited, as always with Dredge's wines, so get in quick and experience the delicious creations of one of the country's finest producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2025 Dr. Edge Tasmania Riesling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2024 Dr. Edge Ambrosia Schonburger Pinot Gris\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2025 Dr. Edge Chardennui Chardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2025 Dr. Edge Rosa Rosa Rosa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2025 Dr. Edge Tyrannosaurus dREDge Pinot Meunier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2025 Dr Edge Pinot Rain Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Dr. Edge Tasmania Riesling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Dredge (\"Dr. Edge\") doesn't do boring Riesling. This pan-Tasmanian blend pulls together fruit from the North (Tamar Valley), South (Derwent Valley), and East (Coal River Valley) to create a wine that is as structural as it is refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt isn't your standard \"squeaky clean\" Tassie Riesling. Dredge leans into texture and complexity here, fermenting the juice naturally in a mix of clay amphora, old French oak casks, and stainless steel. The amphora component even includes whole clusters, adding a savoury, phenolic grip that sets this apart from the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter six months on lees, it is bottled unfiltered with a small amount of residual sugar to balance the ripping acidity. The result is classic citrus and steel, but with \"meat on the bones\" - a layer of savoury funk and weight that makes it fascinating to drink. It is textured, complex, and a little bit wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-dr-edge-tasmania-riesling\" title=\"2025 Dr. Edge Tasmania Riesling\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2024 Dr. Edge Ambrosia Schonburger Pinot Gris\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dr. Edge Ambrosia brings together the common and often wonderful Pinot Gris with the rare and virtually unknown Schonburger in an amber wine with lots of personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComing from the cool-climate Tamar Valley in Tasmania's north, the whole berries were co-fermented with five days of skin contact before being pressed to old oak. The finished wine sees no fining or filtering and only a small amount of sulphur before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLovers of skin-contact wine will swoon over this one. Fresh notes of honey, lychee, elderflower, peach and cantaloupe leap from the glass, while the palate is bright, chalky and alive, with a nice tangy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-dr-edge-ambrosia-schonburger-pinot-gris\" title=\"2024 Dr. Edge Ambrosia Schonburger Pinot Gris\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Dr. Edge Chardennui Chardonnay\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Dredge’s \"Chardennui\" is the antidote to boring Chardonnay. A play on the French word ennui (meaning listlessness or boredom), this wine is anything but tired - it is designed to be the \"not so normal\" sibling in the Dr. Edge lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from vineyards in the Tamar Valley (North) and the East Coast, the fruit is treated with a bit of \"skinsy\" action to dial up the texture. About 15% of the fruit was foot-stomped and fermented on skins, while the rest went into old oak puncheons. The final twist? A splash of Derwent Valley Riesling was added to the ferment to give it an extra kick of \"fruit motivation.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is fresh, fun and delightfully off-kilter. It delivers white peach and nectarine flavours, backed by a textured, minerally grip from the skins and a zippy, clean finish. It’s Chardonnay with the volume turned up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-dr-edge-chardennui-chardonnay\" title=\"2025 Dr. Edge Chardennui Chardonnay\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Dr. Edge Rosa Rosa Rosa\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Dredge describes this as a \"risqué little rosé,\" and like everything he does, it is equal parts serious winemaking and serious fun. It was built specifically for Rosie in My Midnight Dreams, one of Hobart’s best-loved waterfront wine bars, but it’s just as at home poolside on a sunny afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 release is a \"drinkeasy\" blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Dredge has kept things dainty and precise here - the fruit saw just a couple of hours of skin contact, resulting in a wine that is barely blushed and incredibly fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is pale, dry, and racy, with a floral lift and a \"blink-and-you'll-miss-it\" glass-draining quality. There is a touch of funk to keep it interesting, but ultimately, this is a wine designed for guzzling. As the label implies, you’re probably going to need a bigger glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-dr-edge-rosa-rosa-rosa\" title=\"2025 Dr. Edge Rosa Rosa Rosa\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Dr. Edge Tyrannosaurus dREDge Pinot Meunier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dr. Edge Tyrannosaurus dREDge is a dinosaur in name but definitely not in nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed in honour of being called a \"dinosaur\" by an employee (we assume a former employee now), winemaker Peter Dredge sourced the Pinot Meunier grapes from Pipers Brook in Tassie's north, and the Derwent Valley in the south, with a little splash of Pinot Noir thrown in for a touch more grunt. A mix of 50% whole berry on skins and the rest under carbonic maceration, it then spent two months on lees in tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTart cherries and fresh pomegranate mix with a herb-infused and forest floor savouriness to create an ultra-bright and cherry wine. A light little pixie of a wine that's just a pleasure to drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-dr-edge-tyrannosaurus-dredge-pinot-meunier\" title=\"2025 Dr. Edge Tyrannosaurus dREDge Pinot Meunier\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Dr Edge Pinot Rain Pinot Noir\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright, gluggable Pinot Noir from the master with the medical license (not really!), Dr Edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Tassie Pinot prices soaring, we thank Peter Dredge for creating a \u003cem\u003e\"vin de soif\" \u003c\/em\u003estyle Pinot Noir that brings all the goodness of Tasmanian vineyards without the hefty price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeliciously red-fruited and easygoing, it's a wine that's ready to go whenever you are.
