Description

The Denton Shed Nebbiolo is a lovely, approachable wine made by one of the Yarra Valley's favourite young winemakers.

Luke Lambert has made quite a name for himself with his own label, as well as via the Denton winery in the Yarra Valley. Fruit for this Nebb usually goes into their higher priced drop, although when Lambert feels it's not quite up to that standard, it's used for the Shed label instead. Red fruits, violets and rose are prominent and enticing, while acidity is fresh and the tannin is fine and balanced, not too in your face.

A perfect wine for Italian food or a bbq.

95 Points - "Destemmed, wild-yeast fermented and kept on skins for 15 days. Matured in 500L older French puncheons for 18 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered. An impressive, deep, ruby crimson. Highly aromatic with aromas of dark, morello cherries, chinotto, licorice root and botanicals such as juniper and bergamot. Super-fresh on the palate, this is both plush and sweetly fruited, yet has plenty of drive and those signature, structured nebbiolo tannins. A beautifully put together and well-priced wine by a winery and winemaker who have really hit their stride with this difficult-to-nail variety." - Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)

The Nebbiolo block sits half way up the North Western slope, catching all available sunshine hours. The granitic sand over granite boulders and long, slow growing season provide a very special and unique terroir.

This unique micro-climate and soil profile contribute lots of bright, fresh red fruit, aniseed, red flower perfume, and fine tannin on an acid frame.

Destemmed, wild yeast fermented and held on skins for 15 days with frequent plunging and foot stomping. No temperature control. Pressed to 500 litre old French oak puncheons and left unsulfured for 18 months prior to bottling without fining or filtration.

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.
