Description

The stunning sparkling Rose is light yet incredibly persistent in flavour.

Crafted by Tasmanian wine icon, Ed Carr, this wine shows off the assets of Tasmanian Pinot Noir. It's the palest of pinks, just barely a blush, but the sweet red fruits and floral notes will take you straight into Pinot territory.

Stunning texture and delicious, crunchy acidity - this is a gorgeous wine that will mature beautifully for years to come.

"Precise and true, yet with a expansive palate of cascading complex flavours, reined in by a savoury, mineral-laden acid line, finishing very long and moreish."
- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

"The palate is intense and rich as well as refined, beautifully poised and harmonious with a properly dry finish that lingers on and on. Voluminous flavour and pinpoint balance. A great food wine."
- Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

97 points - "A blend of 61.7/37.7/0.6% pinot noir/chardonnay/pinot meunier from Tasmania's East Coast, Derwent Valley, Pipers River and Coal River Valley. On tirage seven years, dosage 2.4 g/L. Light rose gold in the glass with aromas of raspberry, red apple and citrus fruits cut with hints of freshly baked berry danish and brioche, Turkish delight, peach melba, crushed stone, dried citrus fruits and grilled nuts. Notes of berry cream on the palate with hints of blood orange, Aperol spritz, cherry clafoutis and clotted cream. Precise and true, yet with a expansive palate of cascading complex flavours, reined in by a savoury, mineral-laden acid line, finishing very long and moreish." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

97 points - "Light rose-gold to coral-pink colour, a delicate rosé colour showing considerable age development. Very complex, multi-layered bouquet with leaf-litter/autumn leaf, pot-pourri, nutty/peanut brittle aromas, and there's an echo of barrel maturation evident. The palate is intense and rich as well as refined, beautifully poised and harmonious with a properly dry finish that lingers on and on. Voluminous flavour and pinpoint balance. A great food wine." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

95 points - "Striking aromas of tamarind chutney, ginger, turmeric and the Moroccan souk at large. Spicy and kaleidoscopic. This is an excellent fizz, delivering intensity of flavor and a precise, compact mid-palate endowed with just enough lees to creamy embellishment. Consummate poise, power and precision, with a modus of diaphanous acidity and striking delicacy in contrast. Excellent wine. Drink or hold." - Ned Goodwin MW (James Suckling)

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.
