2022 Bondar Violet Hour Shiraz
The name 'Violet Hour' refers to the fading light owners Andre Bondar and Selina Kelly saw on the horizon as they picked the last bunches of Shiraz for their first-ever release, the 2012 edition of this wine. A violet sky, a beautiful wine, and a new future ahead for the couple and their vines.
The Violet Hour tastes as stylish as it looks, it hits that sweet spot for all red wine lovers - a combination of elegance and power.
The pedigree of the Bondar's Rayner vineyard in McLaren Vale is second to none - it's one of the most respected sites in the region where Seaview and Blewitt Springs meet. You get the lively, bright blue fruits of the sandy soils of Blewitt Springs with the power and structure of the Seaview terroir. It's a winning combination. The quality of the Shiraz speaks for itself.
Put simply, if you like McLaren Vale Shiraz with a fresh face - this is a must-buy.
"The 2022 vintage might be my favourite release of the Violet Hour to date..."
- Andre Bondar (Bondar Wines)
2021 Faber Vineyard Riche Shiraz
The Riche Shiraz from Faber is one that packs a serious flavour punch.
It's their best selling red for a reason - it's got everything you'd want from a WA Shiraz! Rich, soft and full of deep, dark berries alongside seductive aromas of chocolate and vanilla thanks to the time spent in oak.
Drink it now or tuck it away for a while, the choice is yours for this luscious beauty.
2022 Lambert Crudo Shiraz
Luke Lambert's 'entry level' Crudo Shiraz is terrific, and punches well above the 'entry level' weight.
Luke is one of the modern superstars of the Yarra Valley. If you want to get to know his house style, this is the perfect place to start.
Luke makes this in a style which is more approachable in its youth than the exceptional, collectable Luke Lambert Syrah. A Yarra Valley Shiraz with drinkability as the focal point, it shows all the perfume, freshness and spice that makes Luke's Shiraz/Syrah so unique. The Crudo is ready to go now... And it's delicious.
Lovers of Luke's wines and/or cool climate Shiraz should back up the truck.
2022 Syrahmi Demi Shiraz
Syrahmi owner/winemaker Adam Foster clearly states the intentions for his Demi Shiraz: "over delivering is the name of the game!"
Demi is a mid-weight Shiraz with loads of character from three well-known vineyards in Heathcote.
There's a fair amount of whole bunches used (60% this year), giving lifted aromatics and spice. A lot of thought and detailed winemaking for this price!
A terrific introduction to a hugely exciting Victorian winemaker, and as far as Heathcote Shiraz goes this as good value as any!
96 points & Top 100 Wines of the Year
"This is a totally beautiful wine, as fresh as a spring day... There’s nothing demi here, nothing left undone, nor overdone."
- James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)
"Pretty... Very good everyday drinking style. Drink now."
- Ned Goodwin MW (James Suckling)
2021 Spinifex Miette Shiraz
If you're looking for a Barossa bargain, then look no further than the Miette Shiraz.
Miette is the entry level label of Spinifex - one of the country's most loved cult producers and one of the leading poster boys of the 'new Barossa'. This is a more classic offering from the ever-creative winemaking hands of Peter Schell. .
Coming from a range of high quality, old vine Barossa and Eden Valley vineyards, this has all the classic dark, rich Barossa Shiraz flavours but wrapped in an elegant, more savoury 'Spinifexy' frame.
For an everyday-drinking Barossa Shiraz with a real stamp of class, this is a no-brainer.
2023 Sabi Wabi Nomu Syrah
The Sabi Wabi Syrah Nouveau is proof that this big and bold variety can make light and fun wines that are also high quality.
Ten days of carbonic maceration (where intact berries are sealed in a tank with dry ice, creating an oxygen-free environment) has created a wine that positively sings in the glass. There's no oak used at all in the process, with each stage carried out in stainless.
Bright and merry characters of strawberries, cherries, blueberries, confectionery and herbs, combined with zingy acidity, make for a fun wine that really is far too easy to drink, so grab two bottles just in case.

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.
