2018 By Farr Shiraz
"This is a dry red wine of terrific intensity, structure and complexity."
Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
The Shiraz By Farr is a Shiraz made like a Pinot Noir.
This is from vines planted in 1994 as part of Gary Farr's original plantings. In most vintages, a small amount of Viognier is either co-fermented or back blended to enhance fragrance and texture. It's a soft, seductive wine that really turns it on.
The 2018 vintage conditions suited the Farr Shiraz vines very well. Nick Farr believes this to be the family's most 'Rhone-like' Shiraz to date.
Silky, slippery and spicy, this is a wonderful expression of Shiraz from a great Australian vineyard.

Here's a wine that perfectly represents the energy and drive the COS wines have become known for.
It takes two of Sicily's hero red varieties: Frappato & Nero d'Avola and takes them into fresh and frisky territory.
The fruit is picked with freshness and acidity as the focal point as opposed to the richer, black-fruited Nero etc that Sicily is well known for. This is all red fruit, spice and florals with a real sense of tension and minerality underlying the whole picture.
It's a terrific wine. Flighty, nervy and persistant. Dive in.

The Dr. Edge Oregon Pinot Noir project has been a long time in the making for Peter Dredge.
The idea was to replicate the same exploration of Pinot Noir that he has undertaken in Tasmania, but through the lens of the Willamette Valley in Oregon, USA.
There are three distinct expressions of the Pinot Noir grape here. The Dukes Family Vineyard in Amity, previously managed by friend Kevin Healy, supplies the fruit for the Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir. It's a cooler site for the region, in the south of Willamette Valley.
This is the finer, more focused wine of the three. It's red-fruited, floral, nervy and has the texture of fine bone china. It's stunning.

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.
