Description

Anderson and Marsh is an exciting collaboration between two of Alpine Valleys' finest winemakers - Eleana Anderson from Mayford and Jo Marsh from Billy Button.

The two friends love exploring new grape varieties and when they had a chance to work together with the white Spanish variety, Albarino, the pair jumped at it.

It's all hand-picked fruit, made with a combination of stainless steel to capture all of the fruit's bright fruit characters, as well as some oak, some solids and some lees to add texture and complexity.

A leading Australian example of Albarino and just a lovely, versatile drink. Just 100 dozen made, get in quick!

Another collaboration with winemaker friend Jo Marsh, with fruit sourced from the sensational Greenacre Vineyard in Merriang South.

Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed to stainless steel. This year the juice was racked off fluffy lees and then divided into two parcels, One half to an old oak puncheon and the balance to stainless steel. Two select yeast strains were used. At the completion of primary ferment, the puncheon was topped, both parcels were sulphured to prevent malolactic fermentation and matured on lees without stirring for 6 months. The parcels were then blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.

100 dozen were produced.

Succulent, minerally and aromatic, this delicious white varietal from Galicia in Spain’s cool northwest (or perhaps across the border in the northeast of Portugal where is is known as Alvarinho), offers up beautiful citrus blossom, exotic fruits, honey suckle and mineral characters with mouth-watering texture and freshening limey acidity.

95 points, "Albariño gets the deluxe treatment and that's a 'Wow!' Each vintage sees these two makers excel themselves with the Spanish grape, reaching down deeper into its character to extract layer upon layer of complexity. Preserved lemon, grapefruit pith, lime zest, apple, beeswax and peach – a rich tapestry of scents, flavours and textures – are set against an assertive acid backbone. That saline, mineral kicker of a finish is gold." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

Anderson and Marsh

Jo Marsh and Eleana Anderson are two of the Alpine Valleys' most respected vignerons in their own right.

The two producers have two distinctly different ways of showcasing their region under their own labels. Eleana through the lens of a single estate, Mayford, where she produces powerful, cellar-worthy examples of Tempranillo, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Cabernet. Jo goes another route, exploring the vast tapestry of eclectic growers across the region under the banner of Billy Button.

The two have been great friends and collaborators for years. Under Anderson & Marsh, they combine their formidable skills to craft a small, curated range of wines which meld their two personal styles. Anderson & Marsh was named the 2024 Halliday Wine Companion Dark Horse Winery of the Year.

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.
