Description

The Other Wine Co.'s mantra is all about 'the right grape grown in the right place', and you don't get too much more right grape / right place than Grenache from McLaren Vale.

Their other guiding light is ensuring they pick the fruit at optimal ripeness - not at all overripe - so as to retain all the grape's natural aromatics and acid from these 45-year-old vines.

It's the very model of the modern, fresh and vibrant style of Grenache that McLaren Vale is becoming ever more synonymous with.

If you're a fan of bright and juicy Grenache, then jump on this wine - it's a bargain.

94 Points - "Three Blewitt Springs vineyards contribute different elements to this thoroughly modern grenache. Each parcel was fermented separately, with 10% whole bunches in each. Matured for just 7 months in a range of relatively neutral vessels. Initial earthy, almost ironwork-like notes and bush herbals lead into a juicy style, a little ripper. It's fresh and vibrant, but then gathers an encouraging mouthfeel with powdery, earthy tannins. Very likeable." - Tony Love (Halliday Wine Companion)

88 Points - "There’s a bit going on with this Grenache. Flavours of black tea, woodsmoke, dried herbs, black cherry and red licorice have it slipping back and forth between sweetness and savouriness. It has a smoky edge but there’s nothing remotely acrid about it. Indeed it’s juicy, medium-bodied and pleasant to drink, if a little drying through the finish." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

style of Australian Grenache with brightness, spice and juiciness,
drawn from magnificent old vine fruit grown in sandy soils.

Fresh, vibrant, & spicy.

45-year-old vines in McLaren Vale. Sandy soils. Low yields and handpicking. Open ferments, as a combination of whole berries and whole bunches.

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.
