2023 Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown Schatz Sylvaner
So many interesting new things emerging from the Vigneron Schmolzer & Brown cellar at the moment.
With their core range of Pret-a-Blanc, Rouge and Rose consistently delivering value, and their single vineyard wines from cooler sites in Beechworth and the Whitlands region finding their way onto premium wine lists and into considered cellars, they are now experimenting with smaller batches of fruit to make a few curios that add colour to the range.
This Sylvaner is a serious look at the variety. A little barrel ferment and a touch of skin contact for a little grip have done wonders for this often-times neutral variety.
The flavours are subtle, all flowers, spice and a pristine line of refreshing acidity. Small amounts made but 100% worth a look.
2017 Mount Edward Gruner Veltliner
This is an excellent mature example of cool-climate Grüner Veltliner. A cellar release of one of his best-ever vintages of this cult wine, this has to be one of the greatest examples of Gruner Veltliner outside of Australia...
Grown organically on the Morrison vineyard planted by Duncan Forsyth in the late 1990s, this has great purity of fruit and shows the lovely texture and spice that this Austrian variety is known for.
Crunchy, apple-y, littered with white pepper and all the things you want in a Grüner with the added complexity and richness that can only come with bottle age.
It's just a great thing to drink and so rare of an opportunity to see this wine style hitting its peak.
2022 Somos Seven Eves Chardonnay

2023 Arfion Spring Pinot Noir
Dave Macintosh loves his Pinot Noir in all shades and colours. The thirst for a young, vibrant 'nouveau' style drove him to release this, the Spring Pinot Noir.
For insane drinkability in a Pinot Noir, that's loaded with character, this is one of the tastiest of its style getting around. It features a blend of Pinot fruit from two different vineyards in the Yarra - the Full Moon Vineyard and the Willowlake Vineyard.
It does the job Dave wanted - its irresistible from first sip.
A bouncy Pinot Noir brimming with jubilant fruit, this will keep you coming back for more and more and more. Knock a slight chill into it and guzzle with abandon.
2021 De Forville Barbera d'Alba
This is the bright, crunchy Barbera from the Anfosso family, based in Barbaresco.
A flurry of red fruits, fresh juicy acid, all the calling cards of the Barbera grape a laid on the table here for you to enjoy.
These table wines from De Forville offer excellent drinking for the prices asked. The Barbera is the friskiest of the bunch. It's a simple pop and pour proposition that's ready for any night of the week.
2022 Torzi Matthews Schist Rock Shiraz
The Torzi Matthews Schist Rock Shiraz is always a killer drinking, killer value wine, and yet again it's absolutely bang on
This is right in the sweet-spot for the Barossa/Eden Valley lover. It's ripe but balanced, the focus on the luscious fruit the region is famous for rather than oak.
Chocolate, plums, a svelte carpet of moreish tannin and a hit of warming spice, it's just spot on for your weekday Shiraz.

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.
