Description

Good things take time, and the 2018 Dhillon Col Mountain Shiraz is proof of just that. Crafted from four carefully chosen Shiraz clones, this wine has been given the luxury of ageing until it’s perfectly poised and ready to shine.

The PT23 and 1654 clones bring smoothness and aromatic flair, while the Yalumba and R6WV28 add depth and richness. Grown on deep red soils laced with shattered rock, the fruit imparts a natural complexity that winemaker Michael Dhillon has captured beautifully. The result is a layered, Christmas-cake-like character with dark fruits at its core, brightened by a pop of red fruit.

The palate is rich, juicy, and full, framed by fine, flowing tannins and balanced acidity. Drinking beautifully now, the 2018 Col Mountain Shiraz will reward those who cellar it for up to a decade.

This wine, to state the obvious, has been quite a while coming! In 2014 we began making experimental ferments using four clones from this exciting vineyard and decided to mature the blended bottled wines until we felt they were settled and singing. The 2018 Col Mountain is based on the smooth and aromatic Shiraz clones PT23 and 1654 with a little of the robust and rich Yalumba and R6WV28. The Col Mountain wines are from deep red soil with a significant amount of shattered rock. The 2018 is rich and complex with Christmas cake like layers of complexity. There are dark fruits with red fruits bringing brightness. The palate is juicy, rich and full with fine flowing tannins working with balanced acidity to make for a seamless, rolling finish. It is beginning to drink very well now and will cellar positively for another decade.

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.
