Description

Shiraz is becoming more of a thing in Mornington Peninsula.

Particularly in warmer vintages, it's a variety that can excel. Tom Carson knows how to get the best out of this variety from a cooler climate - just see his exquisite example of Shiraz Viognier under his Serrat label in the Yarra Valley.

This L=Yabby Lake version is smooth, slippery and spicy with a healthy portion of whole bunches lending structure and a lick of herbal intrigue on the nose.

It's dark and peppery yet it feels light on its feet. Beautiful stuf here from the Yabby Lake team.

Our philosophy is to craft single vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflective of our site and the season in which it was grown. It's the attention and care in the vineyard that is most critical to allowing this expression.

The 2019 season was characterised by a warm and extended summer. The wines are intensely flavoured, yet poised and balanced, ensuring their longevity.

95 Points - "Outstanding pinot noir. Perfumed, silken, flowing and long. Both complex and structured too but the momentum remains high. Crushed roses, toast, roasted black cherries and fresh strawberries. Woodsy herb notes. It's the finish though and its extra energetic unfurl that really gets the heart racing. The is super." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

96 Points - Aside from the striking deep garnet hue that immediately beckons, this starts out a bit shy. Let it be. Let it breathe. It will then unfurl to reveal a savoury, refined wine. Dark fruit, a dusting of pepper and licorice, mocha, warm earth and Aussie bush aromas. It works off a medium-bodied palate with the most exquisite tannins. Top of the class." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

93 Points - "Very deep purple colour, almost glass staining, with aromas of smoked-meat charcuterie, spicy and peppery, the palate likewise intense and focused, elegantly structured and peppery with a long and supple profile, the tannins ample and smooth. The finish is black pepper again and very savoury. A fine syrah, which no doubt will build more complexity with time." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

    Was expecting a bit more from this label. A bit too much tanin.

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.
