Description

This is a cracking example of McLaren Vale Cabernet at a great price.

It's filled with robust flavours of ripe dark fruits like blackberries, blackcurrants and plums, but has the classic herbal , minty and leafy notes both Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are known for. It might be bold but it has no shortage of elegance and grace - smooth and mid-weighted.

If you love Cabernet or just a great value red, it's smooth sailing right here.

94 Points - "There is but a handful of producers that I would make my first call in the Vale. Dodgy Bros. is entrenched as one of them. 57/43%c abernets sauvignon/franc each from noble single vineyards. We are clearly in the lap of a warm maritime zone, pulling this classic blend off with aplomb. Particularly in gentle hands, such as these. Piercing currant, bell pepper, spearmint, olive and hedgerow scents, splayed across some pliant sage-doused tannins." - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)

92 Points - "All the dark mint chocolate, vanilla cream, blueberry and cassis, with a slightly sweet grassy and raspberry lift. It’s plush, full of dark fruit and cocoa, smooth fine-grained tannin, something like an oatmeal and cinnamon richness (don’t mind me), lush flavour, and a dry, gently saline finish of good length. Seductive. Easy to like, and the density and ripeness is really quite fetching. Let them eat cake." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

The Dodgy Brothers and Juxtaposed wines will always be about the grapes that we turn into wine. We use old oak barrels to limit any flavours that might not originally come from the grapes. We aim to make the wines with as little intervention as possible, in order to deliver an honest experience of the influence of place on the wines we make.

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.
