2023 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Pinot Noir
The TMV Pinot Noir is a composite blend of all the Tamar Valley Pinot Noir sites that are farmed by Ricky Evans.
It's a glimpse at the vintage for the Tamar Valley sub-region. This is not your average 'entry level' Pinot Noir, this is a beautifully crafted, elegant representation of Pinot Noir from the north of the island.
It's a cracking wine with immaculate fruit and a savoury backbone - a great representation of the quality being produced by a new wave of Tasmanian winemaking rock stars.
2021 Babo Chianti
The Babo Chianti is smooth, savoury and seriously easy to drink. One of the few Chianti to be bottled under screw cap, ensuring the pristine wine that Justin bottled in Italy finds its way to your glass.
This is smashable Sangiovese 101 at a very fair price.
The freshness and juiciness is a result of half of the wine seeing carbonic maceration. Filled with cherry, earthiness and that classic savoury Sangiovese finish, it's a cracker wine for when you're feeling a little Italianate.
2022 Bodegas Exopto Rioja Bozeto de Exopto
Tom Puyaubert's Rioja wines are finer expressions, with no American oak, and fruit sourced from higher altitude vineyards, many organic (no mean feat in Rioja).
The Bozeto is his bargain red offering, a gorgeous blend here that features 40% Grenache, Tempranillo & a splash of Graciano coaxed into a silky yet spicy wine of supreme drinkability.
A hands-off approach gives the wine a natural feel. Fermentation is in both concrete and tank, then ageing in concrete and large old oak. Some semi-carbonic maceration adds to aromatic lift and a bouncy tang. Lovers of Spanish reds, jump on in!
2022 The Story Super G Grenache Syrah Mourvedre
Pepper and spice and everything nice.. Not lyrics to a song (though they could be), rather a fairly apt description of this Victorian GSM, from the Rory who created the Story.
There is not a whole lot of Mourvedre in the Grampians, however Rory managed to get his hands on a really nice small parcel of fruit, that really rounds out this wine. While the Shiraz component brings the fruit and mid-palate heft here, it’s the interplay between the Grenache and Mourvedre that really makes this wine sing. Super pretty nose, a smoky spice element, that aforementioned mid-palate fruit, all lead to a fresh finish, enhanced by that cool-climate natural acidity.
This is a really nice alternative to the GSM wines we see from SA, a bit lighter in frame, fresher in feel, yet still with full-throttle flavour and aromatics.
2021 Bremerton Special Release Malbec
This is a great value, robust, full-bodied Malbec from the Wilson family in Langhorne Creek. Malbec does exceedingly well in Langhorne Creek and Rebecca and her team produce one of the better examples in the region.
This region has become a happy hunting ground for lovers of bigger reds who are looking for value and an alternative to Shiraz or Cabernet.
Winemaker Rebecca Willson is a very dab hand at crafting Malbec, carefully selecting her prized parcels of Malbec for this cuvee.
The value here from the Wilson family is excellent. It's a big but beautiful red done to a 'T'. The perfect mid-week option for Malbec lovers.
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.

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.

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.
