2019 Heroes Vineyard Anti Hero Shiraz
Love yourself the spicier side of Shiraz/Syrah? Then please, walk this way...
This comes from some of the oldest vines in the Geelong wine region, planted back in 1974.
A little inclusion of whole bunches in the ferment of this wine brings green peppercorn and savoury tannins to mesh with the succulent blue fruit and black olive combo of flavours that this vineyard presents.
It's very much in the 'old world' mold but it's fresh and frisky to drink too.
"The vineyard characteristically produces wines of robust structure, but in a savoury, cool climate style. It is awash with tannins, but they are ripe and yielding and it has great fruit weight too. This is ridiculously good value for money."
- Heroes Vineyard
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 Thomas Wines Synergy Shiraz
Synergy Shiraz is always a blend of sites from across the Hunter, a 'regional blend' if you will - and once again it is one of the bargain reds of the appellation.
The style is open, ripe and generous Shiraz, with Thommo's leaning to less oak preserving all the lovely juicy fruit from an excellent vintage.
Hunter Shiraz 101 here and simply one of the best value Shiraz around.
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!

"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)
2022 Hentley Farm Barossa Valley Shiraz
Hentley Farm's Estate Shiraz is the cornerstone of their range and is a serious bargain for a premium Barossa red.
Made from estate-grown fruit from their A-grade Seppeltsfield vineyard in Greenock Creek, this is a classic ripe and luscious Shiraz which oozes its Barossan origins.
The Hentley Farm wines are all about flavour and polish. It's the perfect hearty red to knock back with a good slab of protein.

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.
