Description

A grape of many names, yet one whose core characteristics shine through no matter the wine style or winemaking techniques. Muscat Petit Grains is fragrant AF, yet here, also dry, chewy, and crisp.

A drink now kind of wine, it's mega floral on the nose, white flowers, sweet musk, the smell of a freshly harvested field of wheat. On the palate its full of citrus, juicy, yet dry, with some puckering chalky tannin and zingy acidity.

Fun wine, lots of interest, complexity, and most importantly, high levels of get in your mouth drinkability.

The fruit was hand-picked in the cool early morning of 14th
February at 11 Baume, this really was the earliest we have
picked the fruit flavor wise in all vintages making this wine.
Upon receiving at the winery, the fruit was gently destemmed
into the press, with 10% whole bunches added, where it was
held on skins for 2 hours, cremant style, to enhance the mid
palate of the juice. The free run juice fraction was collected
into stainless steel tank, where the gentlest of pressings
were also combined. No preservatives added. The juice was
then settled and racked off solids and fermented at 12 to
15 degrees until dryness was achieved.

91 Points - "What a fun thing from H&Y. And good thing.
Cucumber, lemon squash, green herbs. Good scents. Lots of juicy, bouncy fun in the palate. More cucumber, lemon squash, Real Lemonade perhaps, some green apple. Zingy finish whips things tart and clean. Good times. Lots of personality and lots of drinkability." Mike Bennie (Wine Front)

91 Points - "This is fun! Grapey and spicy. Think canned lychee, orange blossom and jasmine scents, all careening along talcy rails of chew and acid freshness. The finish is dry and has plenty of pucker. Drink with gusto." Ned Goodwin (Halliday Wine Companion)

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.
