Description
Established in 2018 Mulline Vintners is a double dose of Bens, specifically winemaker Ben Mullen and business brain and wine drinker Ben Hine. Mullen has experience from around the globe, and was most recently winemaker at Clyde Park.
They source fruit from around the Geelong area of Victoria with a focus on Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, working with growers farming sustainably and organically. All steps of the winemaking operation are done with a major focus on looking after the environment.
Their first releases from the 2019 vintage were met with some acclaim - they are definitely young guns to watch out for.
To prevent embarrassment and to encourage rapping couplets... Mulline rhymes with “divine”.
The Pack Features
2022 Mulline Portarlington Syrah
"It's top class."
95 + pts, Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
The Portarlington Syrah from Mulline showcases fruit from the Nurringa Park Vineyard, with vines almost 30 years old (planted in 1994).
It exudes quality, finesse and class from the first sip - layers of plums, cherries, spice, silky tannins, complexity; the full package.
Sadly, not a lot was made of this wine - only 70 dozen in total - so if you're hoping to get a taste, jump in quickly.
2022 Mulline Bannockburn Syrah
"The seamlessness. The flare. It's gorgeous."
95+ pts, Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
This little red from Mulline is part of their single vineyard Syrah expressions, with all of the fruit for this wine coming from the Bannockburn Vineyard.
There's 30% whole bunches in the mix, and it sees 20% new oak throughout the winemaking process.
It comes together as a complete package, filled with ripe fruit, aromas of spice and herbs and fine tannins. Another high class Syrah from Mulline - only made in small amounts, so get in quick.
2022 Mulline Sutherlands Creek Shiraz Viognier
"We have an exceptional wine on our hands here... I'm just a little bit blown away."
96 pts, Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
If you love a Shiraz/Viognier blend, this iteration from Mulline is one you should jump on.
It screams expertly crafted from the get-go, with flavours of woody spice, forest floor and florals wrapped around a core of juicy plums, red berries and cherries.
Serious yet extremely approachable now, or you could let it sleep a little while longer for later enjoyment.

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.
