"A wine to commemorate Tim Knappstein's 60th vintage. The complete package here, immediately appealing and bright. Wrapped in perfectly ripe cherry fruits, bramble, plum, violet and dried herbs. Beautifully detailed, assisted by integrated oak, crunchy acid bite and leafy, savoury tannins. Impressive depth." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

"You've got to love a wine with aromas that strike you with as much personality as this. Crushed blueberry, with handfuls of kitchen herbs, and a distinctive dark-berried sweet spot on the palate, textured up with pith and lightly puckery tannins. Heaps of energy, and just a little twist of darker amaro bitters to finish. Smashing." - Tony Love (Halliday Wine Companion)
Read more about 2020 La Prova Dolcetto96 points
"Sourced from old, dry-grown vines in Blewitt Springs; hand-picked, wild yeast fermented and basket-pressed before a brief stay in used French oak. Neither fined nor filtered; gloriously spicy red fruits create the same magic as young, high-quality pinot noir. Truly delectable." - James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)
Read more about 2021 Main & Cherry Grenache95 points
"Fairbank shows the other side of the syrah coin, the plummy, juicy, sweet-fruited side that offers excellent early drinking, with the promise of some medium-term ageing. Brilliant purple hues, bright, jubey, cassis, plum and concentrated spice. Balance, texture and good length on display, together with some signature bush mint. It's all here." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)
Read more about 2019 Sutton Grange Fairbank Syrah95 points
"This trio has come together well to create a savoury, buoyant style. A core of tangy-tart-ripe fruit shines through with rose petal and red licorice aromatics. Layered up with squid ink, mace and patchouli working across the medium-bodied palate, grainy tannins in tow." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
Read more about 2018 S.C. Pannell Grenache Shiraz Touriga95 points
"40/32/28% nero d'avola/durif/shiraz. From one of the state's more thoughtful winemakers, comes a complex blend of fruit sourcing and winemaking. Each grape was treated separately to make this beaut wine. The price belies the work and the wow factor achieved. Vibrant blueberry, black cherry, plum, anise, earth and spice take the lead, to be enhanced by sweet, vanillin oak. Finishes long and supple with an ongoing thread of rosemary." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

The wines were good, I was expecting incredible value wines that exceed expectation but I think these are about average for the price.

Delivery times vary considerably with Australia Post and unfortunately there is no Express Delivery Option for wine (because it is fragile and heavy).

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 1300 668 385 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
