2024 Joshua Cooper Chardonnay
Precision, purity, and just the right amount of generosity - this is Josh Cooper’s take on Macedon Ranges Chardonnay in 2024.
Sourced entirely from the weathered granite slopes of Dash Farm, this wine shares its DNA with the upcoming single-vineyard release but is designed for earlier drinking.
Aromatically, it’s fresh and inviting - jasmine blossom, lemon zest, and a whisper of crushed stone. The palate is sharp and focused, with citrus and faint green almond notes, underpinned by a finely textured mouthfeel that lingers beautifully.
A slightly longer pressing and ageing exclusively in old French oak enhance its structure without overshadowing its clarity. This exciting new addition to Josh's range is a great reflection of his ever-evolving Chardonnay style.

"Slick and spicy, savoury and tangy with lots of crushed rock minerality, a dash of white balsamic tang, loads of preserved lemon, crystalline gingery spice. It’s flavoursome, rich in a way, but also holds shape in a cooler frame though it touches medium weight too. A lick of Jura chardonnay, hey. Character filled, compelling drinking, a chardonnay not afraid of flavour but happy resting in a space that feels cooler and brighter too. Apple, cashew, almond, pulpy grapefruit, cumquat, cinnamon. Go forth, this is super drinking."

2024 Joshua Cooper Rose
Joshua Cooper doesn’t make rosé as an afterthought—this is a serious, structured, and textural wine, inspired by the great age-worthy rosés of Clos Cibonne, Château Simone, and Domaine Tempier. Made from Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s barrel-fermented in large old French oak and aged on lees for 11 months, bringing depth, complexity, and a savoury edge to what is already a compelling, food-friendly style.
Pale and orange-hued in the glass, it offers aromatics of raspberry, cranberry, green almond, and white pepper, with a subtle stony minerality adding intrigue. The palate is textural and crisp, yet carries a creamy, lees-derived richness that wraps around bright red berry fruit and fine, feathery tannins.
This isn’t your standard summer rosé - it’s built to develop, with time in the cellar only adding to its layers of spice and savoury complexity. If you love Provençal rosé with depth and detail, this is a must-try.

"It’s soft, but not flabby, instead a coolness to its fringes that hold all the bright fruit, creamy, nutty elements, sweet spice and light, herbal elements in. Slips along the palate so gently, yet delivers plenty of character and good intensity for the style. Almost medium weight for pink wines, a good stain on the palate too, a fine, lightly spicy and unctuous finish. Brilliant."

2024 Joshua Cooper Pinot Noir
Josh Cooper’s new Pinot Noir is crafted in the same detailed, site-driven style as his Doug’s Vineyard cuvée but hails from the exposed granite soils of Dash Farm, bringing its own distinct personality. It’s a bright, spice-laden Pinot that drinks beautifully young but has the structure to evolve in bottle.
The nose is immediately inviting, bursting with black raspberry, red cherry, and exotic spices, alongside a hint of woody herbs, flinty minerality, and subtle smokiness. The palate is thirst-inducing and layered, packed with red fruit and savoury spice, framed by fresh acidity and fine, powdery tannins that add depth and length.
Expressive and serious in equal measure, this is a perfect introduction to Joshua Cooper’s Pinot Noir style - open and delicious now, but with plenty more to give in the cellar.

"Slick and squeaky pinot noir of sleek lines, tightly wound, coiled with alpine herb, white pepper, green pepper corn, Thai basil, red cherry and touches of Campari and blood orange. All this melds so superbly, a slippery flow of beautiful pinot noir with detail of that herbs, spice, fresh fruit, all in such synergy and pretty fruitiness. So easy to drink, fresh and bright, so much pinosity, for those that count that."

2024 Joshua Cooper Claret
Joshua Cooper’s Claret is a nod to the softer, more fruit-forward Bordeaux blends of old—immediately appealing yet still structured enough to age gracefully. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec, it’s made in a supple, juicy style that works just as well for luncheon drinking as it does alongside a serious meal.
Bright garnet red in the glass, it opens with blood plum, cassis, and creamy black cherry, layered with hints of violet, tobacco, and iodine. The palate is plush and generous, full of purple berry fruit, yet framed by fine tannins and balanced acidity that give it structure without weight.
Approachable now, but will evolve beautifully over time—this is a modern take on a classic style, and one of the easiest-drinking reds in the Joshua Cooper lineup.

"It’s Claret alright. Medium weight, supple, dark cherry, cola, cassis, violet florals, sweet tobacco, light mahogany and choc-mint. A lively wine yet at medium weight, maybe a little more, sweet fruit and that herbal inflection running riot. All of it mellow in a way, seamless in integration. Light on its feet, pretty, and then, again, you know you have something of concentration. A touch resinous in this, but we move past, that’s micrometer detail. Wonderful wine here."

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.

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.
