2023 Wickhams Road Yarra Valley Pinot Noir
95 Points
"To borrow a line from Mr Magoo, 'Oh, Franco, you've done it again!' I'm referring to the insanely good-for-the-money pinots that Hoddles Creek excels at. This is the first Wickhams Road Yarra where the majority of the fruit comes from Hoddles Creek. A super-bright ruby red, this nose is redolent with small red fruits while the palate is balanced, silky smooth and long. Delish!"

2022 Ravensworth Regional Sangiovese
95 points & Top 100 Wines of the Year
"This represents the 20th vintage for Bryan Martin's sangiovese. I reckon he has the knack now. There’s a lovely fragrance and such delightful fruit in this, all red cherries and barberries with splashes of blood orange and amaro. Tannins are spot-on, all textural, shapely and mouthcoating, while the juicy acidity seals the deal."
- Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion) Read More
2022 Dune The Empty Quarter GSM
96 points
"A blend of shiraz, mataro and grenache, plus a touch of touriga nacional. A beautifully detailed and handled wine that is a super-elegant version of standard GSM. The beauty of this wine and its blue/red fruits and berries demands that it be consumed forthwith."
- James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion) Read More
2022 Thousand Candles Gathering Field Cabernet Franc
96 points
"Yet another thoughtfully made, well-priced wine from Stuart Proud and the team at Thousand Candles. A bright ruby red, this poised and expressive wine delivers red cherry and blackberry fruit aromas with hints of bay leaf and pink peppercorns. Light to medium-bodied, the fruit is bright and crunchy and those chalky tannins are crying out for a barbecued lamb cutlet or the like on a warm night. A lovely example of cabernet franc."

2021 Mordrelle Malbec Lagrein Cabernet Shiraz
97 Points
"A 50/25/20/5% blend; destemmed; excellent colour. This lives up to the promise of the colour and the pure fragrance of malbec's clone. High-class tannins and a silky mouthfeel, the flavours rangging through red, black and blue fruits. Drop-dead beautiful stuff. Celestial value."
- James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion) Read More
2022 Brothers at War The Old Man Eden Valley Syrah
95 points
"Puts beyond doubt the proposition that elegance and freshness can be achieved without stress or strain, simply allowing the fruit to express itself – red and black cherries to the fore – in a cool, late vintage. The win-win scenario is fuelled by the second glass: drink and be merry."

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.
