Description

The rise and rise of lower alcohol reds that are begging to be banged in the esky is one of the best modern developments in Australian wine.

From familiar varieties such as Pinot Noir and early-picked Grenache, to the explosive recent popularity of varieties like Pinot Meunier and Gamay, or creative blends that place style at a premium over traditional varietal characteristics - the world of light Aussie reds is one of the most exciting vinous wormholes you can fall down at the moment. Here's the pack to get you started!

  • 2023 Stargazer Rada
  • 2022 Unico Zelo Jungle Jungle Dolcetto
  • 2023 Voyager Estate Vivid Red [PF]
  • 2022 Renzaglia di Renzo Nuovo
  • 2023 Little Reddie Colbinabbin Nebbiolo Refosco
  • 2022 Swinging Bridge M.A.W. Pinot Noir

2023 Stargazer Rada

This is a delicious lighter styled red from the talented hands of Sam Connew.

Here, Sam blends Pinot Meunier from Pipers Brook with Pinot Noir from the Coal River Valley to give a summery red wine that can be enjoyed while the weather is warm.

There's sweetness from the lively Pinot Noir fruit, a touch of savouriness from the Meunier. It's packaged beautifully and ready to rip into.

If you like to have something that's red but crisp and crunchy in your glass, this is a fine choice.

2022 Unico Zelo Jungle Jungle Dolcetto

The Jungle Jungle (formerly Cherry Fields) has become one of the most popular wines in the Unico Zelo range over the last couple of vintages, and it's in top form again.

It comes from the Polish Hill River sub-region of the Clare Valley, a place Brendan and Laura Carter love sourcing fruit from. When you think Dolcetto you think sweet, fruity reds, but this is anything but.

There's also now some supporting Touriga Nacional from Langhorne Creek, and a touch of Adelaide Hills Nero d'Avola.

Wildly aromatic, vibrantly juicy and surprisingly structural, this is a lot of wine built into not a lot of body. The Carters recommend this wine for "eating with your hands", and 20 minutes in the fridge would do it no harm at all. It's different, yes, but most of all it's just one of those reds that is near impossible to put down.

2023 Voyager Estate Vivid Red [PF]

This is the wine that marked a new chapter in the Voyager story - the first red wine released by winemaker Tim Shand, his brainchild, and a fresh, modern red built for a new generation.

This is a vibrant, and yes, vivid, blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Tempranillo & Merlot, built in a light frame and destined for chilled, warm-weather drinking. It's reminiscent of the lovely, smashable reds Tim made during his time in the Yarra Valley. It's a wine that says, "Drink me now, and drink me with friends in the sun!"

It makes a statement about what Tim's tenure at this historic Margaret River estate is going to look like. Blending tradition with innovation, the old with the new. It's a tantalising preview of what's to come over the coming years for the Voyager label.

“A pure and bold expression of our place in Stevens Valley. Wild, bright and completely preservative-free, it’s fresh as the day and ready for spring.”
- Tim Shand (Chief Winemaker)

"It’s not about ageability or complexity, Vivid Red is about drinkability and for a lighter-framed style, this is excellent. Don’t be afraid to chill this down in warmer weather. Don’t be afraid to drink it with gusto, and best to do so as it’s preservative free."
- Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

2022 Renzaglia di Renzo Nuovo

This is a cracking light red (or dark rose, if you wish) for guzzling around the table in good company.

Made from a blend of Italian, French and Spanish varieties - Sangiovese, Graciano, Vermentino, Cabernet and Tempranillo - that all come together as a highly quaffable, easy-going red built for anywhere, anytime.

Lively, crunchy, herbal and lightly spicy, filled with red berries, it's a great wine to pop in the fridge or esky for extra refreshment.

2023 Little Reddie Colbinabbin Nebbiolo Refosco

This is a light-bodied red made for drinking while in the flush of its youth.

Nebbiolo, while having a reputation for being a powerhouse, can make these softer, early-drinking reds when handled gently. Especially when it's paired up with the bright and jubey Refosco grape - it's a match made in heaven here from Pat Underwood.

It's a pitch-perfect red for warmer weather, filled with sweet strawberry and cherry notes and a lovely floral top note. It's a little nervy and has a lot of energy. It's fantastic to drink.

2022 Swinging Bridge M.A.W. Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is Tom Ward's pet variety.

He believes that there is huge potential for Orange to become one of the country's premier Pinot Noir growing regions and he's doing great work to build that reputation for the region.

The M.A.W, named after his father Mark Andrew Ward, is about lightness, freshness and drinkability. It's the kind of Pinot you can open any night of the week and be totally satisfied with what's in the glass.

A youthful expression that's ready to rip, and it's absolutely delicious.

    Quite a range here, a cracking pinot, one or two not quite my thing, but all definitely worth a try nonetheless.

    Thrilled!

    Unique and juicy! This 6 pack of chilled reds was the perfect range! The Golden Child was my favorite, but not a single bottle disappointed. The only problem was there was only 6! Will be ordering double next time!

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.
