Description

The Infidels is Primitivo sourced from the immaculate Inkwell vineyard in McLaren Vale.

Over the last few vintages it has gained a reputation for being one of the country's most drinkable/loveable alternate varieties, and is often the fastest-selling Inkwell wine - understandably so.

The oak is set firmly to the background of the mid-weight palate and the perky red fruits and spice of this variety on display for all to see. The fruit weight, tannin, and acidity playing perfectly with each other. Simply delightful drinking and on their best releases to date.

"It’s a wine of grain and groove and silk. It’s most enjoyable."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

92 Points - "The fruit is pure, the perfumes clear, the mouthfeel soft. There’s an integrity to this wine but, at heart, it’s a crowd-pleaser. It tastes of boysenberry and earth, sweet jubey berries in general and something woody, like sandalwood. It’s a wine of grain and groove and silk. It’s most enjoyable." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

    A great Primitivo / serious Zinfandel

    This Primitivo has a beautiful body with lovely complexities. Compare to the easy drinking, stereotypical Californian Zinfandel, this is the more serious cousin with many layers.

    Bold and juicy

    An easy win coming into winter. Nice depth of flavour and character. Will try more from this winery in the basis of this drop.

    Excellent drop

    Recommended at Sean’s Panorama, Bondi Beach. A “big” red yet soft, round and mellow . Has more depth than its Puglia cousins and to my taste, a more satisfying drinking experience.

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.
