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!

  • 2024 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Pinot Noir
  • 2024 Commune of Buttons Eurilla Pinot Noir
  • 2023 Dune Ain Salah Cinsault
  • 2023 Nick Spencer Gundagai Light Dry Red
  • 2023 Golden Child Lazy Sunday Light Red
  • 2023 Unico Zelo Jungle Jungle Dolcetto

2024 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Pinot Noir

This is the wine that kicked it all off for Ricky Evans, and after 13 vintages, it just keeps getting better. A true snapshot of the Tamar Valley, TMV Pinot blends fruit from Ricky’s own vineyards with a couple of trusted growers, delivering a cracking Pinot that’s both effortless and detailed.

Think bright red berries—raspberry, wild strawberry, a bit of cranberry—wrapped up in fine, chalky tannins with a flicker of spice. There’s just enough whole bunch (10%) to add a little lift, and a stint in old barriques (only 10% new) keeps everything fresh, juicy, and dangerously easy to drink.

Pure Tassie Pinot pleasure—made to be opened, enjoyed, and probably finished faster than you planned. Stocks are always tight, so don’t sit on your hands.

2024 Commune of Buttons Eurilla Pinot Noir

Jasper Button has been steadily refining his approach to Pinot Noir over the past decade, and the 2024 Eurilla shows just how far he’s come. Working with fruit from two cooler Piccadilly Valley sites - Aesctun and Deanery - this wine is a more focused, polished expression of what Commune of Buttons is capable of.

Both vineyards bring something different to the table: Aesctun’s south-facing slope gives structure and depth, while Deanery’s east-facing site contributes brightness and drive. The fruit was picked by hand, with 10% whole bunch retained for lift, then fermented naturally and aged in older French oak for eight months, followed by a short stint in tank before bottling.

It’s got all the hallmarks of Jasper’s recent work showing bright red fruits, fine tannins, and a savoury, almost herbal edge that keeps things interesting. There’s more clarity and precision here than in earlier releases, with the wine showing a real sense of place without losing approachability.

This is thoughtful, confident Pinot Noir that reflects Jasper’s growing skill and understanding of these cool Adelaide Hills sites. A great step forward.

"This is a nice wine. Nice, nice. Spot on. Supple texture, a bit of gravelly grip, some haziness, dark cherry, a touch of cola, shiitake mushroom, mocha, caraway seeds, fennel and dried herbs. Good concentration yet a sense of freshness and lift. Pure feeling despite its savoury tendencies. An utter delight to drink."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

2023 Dune Ain Salah Cinsault

Made in only minuscule quantities, this single-varietal Cinsault from Dune is a wine to jump on quickly before it’s all gone.

Cinsault is a fascinating variety and one proving to be well-suited to the sunshine of the Vale. Easy to grow, light-bodied and full of bright red fruits - it's a name we're bound to see a lot more of.

This is a jubey, spicy, herbal, wildly delicious little red. Low alcohol and low tannin make it the perfect lunchtime option too, and it loves 20 minutes in the fridge!

Gulp gulp gulp!

2023 Nick Spencer Gundagai Light Dry Red

Inspired by the classic ‘Burgundies’ of 1950s–70s Australia, Nick Spencer’s Light Dry Red is a fresh, modern take on those elegant, medium-bodied Shiraz-Pinot blends that once defined the Hunter Valley. This is bright, aromatic, and built for effortless drinking, but with enough depth to keep things interesting.

A 50/50 blend of Shiraz and Pinot Noir, each variety was picked and fermented separately - 100% destemmed and fermented on skins for 14 days, before spending 12 months in old puncheons and amphoras. The 2023 vintage is silky, pure, and bursting with red fruit freshness.

Aromatically, it’s blueberries, red cherries, and spice, with subtle notes of cassis and earth adding dimension. The palate is supple and juicy, with fine, powdery tannins and a clean, mouthwatering finish.

Complex yet carefree, serious yet smashable - this is modern Aussie red wine at its best.

"This is exquisite. It’s a delicacy. It’s fine and floral and spicy and berried, its flavours built on acidity, its nuances intricate. This is the polar opposite of the smack-you-in-the-face red wine style. It’s just itself, light to medium in weight, of the garden, summer berries glancing over at autumn, some apple to the acidity, its charm somewhere between studied and neglected. It won’t be everyone’s cuppa I guess, you have to slow down and take a listen to it, but for me personally this wine brings joy into the room."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

2023 Golden Child Lazy Sunday Light Red

This is one of the most gluggable light and breezy red wines you are likely to come across.

Here, Pinot Noir and Shiraz from James Hamilton's family vineyard in Adelaide Hills, combine forces into a red with unstoppable drinkability. The sweet red fruits of the Pinot, the lovely plump mid-palate of the Shiraz, it's such a winning combination.

Looking for something red to knock back in tumblers on your next picnic?

The Lazy Sunday is your winner.

2023 Unico Zelo Jungle Jungle Dolcetto

Unico Zelo’s Jungle Jungle is an irresistible red that celebrates Dolcetto’s lighter, juicy side while layering in unexpected depth and structure. This Clare Valley and Langhorne Creek blend showcases Brendan and Laura Carter’s knack for crafting approachable, vibrant wines perfectly suited to modern Australian tastes.

The fruit comes primarily from the Polish Hill River sub-region, with the addition of some stellar Langhorne Creek Dolcetto. These sites, rooted in shale and blue slate soils, bring a mix of bright, juicy blueberries and black cherry alongside earthy spice and herbal undertones. The winemaking is minimal intervention, letting the natural character of the fruit shine through while soft tannins provide the wine with a subtle framework.

On the palate, it’s a perfect balance of comfort and complexity. The plush fruit and aromatic lift make this a delightful match for casual dining, particularly dishes you can enjoy with your hands—think woodfired pizza or smoky BBQ. Pop it in the fridge for 20 minutes for extra freshness, and you’re in for a treat.

Jungle Jungle is quintessential Unico Zelo: thoughtful, fun, and deeply drinkable. A crowd-pleasing red with character to spare.

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.
