Description

The DML team have released a spectacular wine with the Reserve Pinot Noir out of Mornington.

It's a barrel selection of Pinot Noir from a cool single vineyard site, the three best barrels to be precise.

It's rare to see such grace, power and persistence in Aussie top-tier Pinot, and this is a complete joy to experience. 20% new oak, all destemmed, gentle extraction.

Being just three barrels, the wine is very limited. It's an ideal Australian Pinot to put in the cellar for 10 plus years.

96 Points - "The first reserve release from the D.M.L. crew. It’s from a single Mornington Peninsula vineyard, and it’s a barrel selection from there (the best three).

It’s a complete wine. It’s so beautifully ripened that it’s difficult to see where the fruit ends and the savouriness begins, so easily does each flow into and through the other. Strawberries and herbs, cedarwood and undergrowth, with perhaps a slight dip into plum. There’s a minerally, smoky, graphite-like aspect to the tannin, which itself is both firm and sheeted, like a hotel bed, everything drilled precisely into place. This is an Australian Pinot Noir that will prove immensely age worthy; everything here speaks of excellence." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

The 2021 DML Reserve was produced from the outstanding 2021 vintage, which has already been recognised as one of the truly great Pinot vintages of the last decade. The fruit was grown in a prized Mornington Peninsula vineyard, where we feel very fortunate to have access to a small parcel of fruit. After 16 months of barrel maturation, the three most outstanding barrels from this batch were selected, blended and bottled to produce our Reserve.


The ‘21 DML Reserve shows elegance, purity and poise. The nose exhibits aromas of cranberry, stewed strawberry and plum along with a hint of well integrated french oak. The palate is defined by the power and intensity of fruit generated from the 2021 vintage. The fruit power is framed by subtle but persistent tannin, adding focus and drive to the exceptional length of flavour. A wine to drink now, or hold for 5-10 years in the cellar.

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.
