2021 Spinifex Moppa Shiraz
This is a deviation from the usual company line from Peter Schell.
Schell made his name as a trailblazer for the 'New Barossa' style, a more 'European' slant on the traditional Barossa powerhouse. But a good winemaker is guided by the fruit, and this particular batch of fruit from an old Moppa vineyard was set decidedly to a more 'classic' Barossa tempo. Big, dark and brooding, Schell says it reminds him of the great classic wines of Penfolds and the like.
And so this separate bottling has come to be. It celebrates a single site that Schell has vinified since 2005. Enthusiasts of old-school Barossa Shiraz, this will be right in their wheelhouse.
2018 Blank Canvas Element Vineyard Syrah
This wine has received rave critical acclaim in New Zealand, featuring in the Top Five New Zealand Syrah's Over $35 from Business Desk, named as the Top Syrah New Zealand & Australia in WANDS Blind Panel Tasting and rated in the Top Three NZ Syrah by Decanter Tasting Panel.
It's a beautifully seductive wine, filled with dark forest fruits and impeccable spice. Blank Canvas winemaker Matt Thomson coaxes every little nuance out of this great Gimblett Gravels site.
Supple and smooth enough to enjoy now but certainly something that will develop with bottle age, this is incredibly impressive.
"Stylish and dense, with more complexity surely in store."
- Richard Hemming MW (Jancis Robinson)"A generously proportioned wine with an appealingly supple texture. Should age well"
- 96 pts, Bob Campbell MW (The Real Review)
2021 Herve Souhaut Syrah
This supple, stylish Syrah hails from vines planted, on average, half a century ago on the banks of the Doux River.
Vigneron Souhaut is a master of controlling textures in his red wines, keeping the palate light and fresh whilst harnessing the density and power of his fruit. This is a very fine example of his prowess as a craftsman.
This presents as wonderfully aromatic with purple flowers, crushed rocks, dark forest fruits and smooth, suede tannin. It's a gorgeous, seductive representation of Syrah outside of the famed blue-chip regions of the Rhone - hence the great value on offer.

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.
