Description

From a plot that sits at about 400m elevation in the southern part of St Joseph, this is a serious wine full of depth that pulls together all those special characteristics that make Syrah from the Northern Rhone so epic.

It has the spice and floral aromas of Cote Rote, that cool white pepper kick of Crozes Hermitage and the muscularity of St. Joseph and Cornas. Youthful and vibrant with summer berries, liquorice, pepper and graphite flavours, and a silky but present tannic structure.

Savoury and ripe, this is Northern Rhone at its best…even before you look at its ridiculous value-for-money price.

94 Points - "Meaty and spicy, oyster shells, nuts and dried herb, blue and black fruit. It's intense, but light, with an almost bloody flavour, but plenty of energy and fruit too. Really pops. Pumice stone tannin is a highlight, as is the freshness and grip on a long cool finish. You might say it's all Syrah on the nose, but with a sort of Beaujolais lightness and crunch in the mouth. A delight." - Gary Walsh (Winefront)

    Great!

    Dark, deep and brooding. Great minerality with a pine forest floor nose and lovely dryness. Keeps you coming back for more! Ordered another bottle while still drinking it.

From a plot located above St. Joseph at 400m, well-sited and with soils laden with schist. The vines are relatively low-yielding at 40-50 hl/ha, and although vinification is carried out in stainless steel tanks, it is then matured in barrels for 6 months following.

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.
