Description

If there’s one thing the Barossa has in spades its old-vine Shiraz. From a single-vineyard in the Lyndoch Ranges in the south of the region, this is an intensely rich, dense wine, that shows true Barossa genes.

Full-bodied, it’s all dark fruit, with the overlay of oaky chocolate character. Long, with a mouthful of tannin, this wine lingers over the palate as you would expect from a powerhouse like this.

While this Shiraz gives you fuzzies like a warm cuddle now, it has tremendous potential to reward you for years to come.

Fermented with 20% whole bunches, with the balance being destemmed, not crushed, leaving the berries whole. The juice was then hand plunged twice daily for three weeks before being pressed to 50% new French oak and 50% seasoned French oak Hogs Heads, aged on lees for 18 months, and racked only once during this time. No fining or filtration was used on this wine.

96 Points - "From 50yo vines in Lyndoch, 20% whole bunches. Matured 18 months in 40% new French oak hogsheads. Unfined and unfiltered. 384 bottles. Miniscule production of larger-than-life Lyndoch shiraz. A wine of considerable concentration, drive and determination. All the black fruits and dark chocolate oak to be expected, with a spicy whole-bunch overlay. Fine, full tannins rise to the challenge, supporting a bright finish, elevated to the next level by exceptional line and length." Tyson Stelzer (Halliday Wine Companion)

91 Points - "Deep purple colour that coats the glass. Mulberry, sage and iodine aromas. A big and weighty palate, rich and dense black fruits vie for attention with black olive and mocha savouries. Good length and firm drying tannins into the finish." Stuart Knox (The Real Review)

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.
