Description

Here’s a Coonawarra Cabernet that delivers premium quality without the premium price tag. The Stonehaven Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon shows why Coonawarra is legendary for producing some of Australia’s best Cabernets. This one is all about richness, structure, and value—seriously, at $25, you’re getting a top-tier wine for a fraction of what you’d expect.

It's true to regional style, showing blackberry and dark plum, perfectly balanced by hints of French oak spice, giving it that signature Coonawarra elegance. The full-bodied palate is rich and smooth, with just the right amount of tannin to carry it through to a long, satisfying finish.

Whether you’re a fan of classic Aussie Cab or looking to explore the region, this is the kind of wine that impresses at a dinner party but is easy enough to enjoy on a quiet night in. For the price, it’s an absolute no-brainer—serious Coonawarra pedigree at a price that feels too good to be true.

"Boysenberry, ripe red cherry and blackberry pie. Pencil shavings, black granite and tar. Sage and bay leaf followed by clove, winter pine and dark chocolate. A taut and compact palate with blue fruit coming through and tobacco and cigar pouch. Nicely integrated and drinking well now."
- Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)

This Cabernet Sauvignon is full bodied with a rich texture. Notes of blackberry and classic dark fruits are superbly integrated with the spicy French oak characters for that lasting impression.

Stonehaven Wines

Stonehaven Winery has had an interesting journey. Originally built by Hardys in 1998 for a cool $33 million, it was all about showcasing the potential of South Australia's Limestone Coast. This is a region with some pretty diverse sub-regions, including Coonawarra, Padthaway, and Wrattonbully. While Coonawarra’s fame is well-established, the other subregions were still coming into their own when Stonehaven was launched.

However, after some big corporate shake-ups, the brand was sold, and Stonehaven was left dormant for years. That was until early 2021 when CW Wines, a South Australian family business, snapped it up and breathed new life into it. They didn’t just relaunch the brand—they overhauled it with a fresh look and started producing wines that are seriously good value. Under the guidance of winemaker Ben Wurst, they’ve created everything from easy-drinking varietals to more serious, limited-release bottles, with a focus on quality and showcasing the region's cool-climate styles.

Stonehaven’s focus remains on the Limestone Coast’s unique terroirs, with Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay being the stars, along with some emerging varieties like Merlot and Riesling. It’s a real comeback story for a winery that’s proving it still has plenty to offer.

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.
