Description

The Dalla Mia Finestra Shiraz is another great drop from this small but high-quality Yarra Valley producer.

Sourced from a block planted in 1996, there's 25% whole bunches in the mix, helping to aid the savouriness of the wine. It's rich, very ripe, and although it's 14.4% alcohol, this is hidden very well in the wine. Oak is minimal due to the use of older barrels, so the focus is on the fruit: blue and purple, plus plum, with black pepper and a touch of vanilla.

While it's drinking excellently now, it could also be cellared for a few more years.

94 Points - "Older oak, 10% whole bunch. I’ve not yet met Bruce Lang, because I don’t get out much. Aromatic, some cracked pepper, hazelnut, blue and purple fruit. Medium-bodied, nutty and spicy, particularly good feel to the tannin here with a slate and Turkish coffee feel, all that healthy silty stuff, anyway, dried flowers, a distinct ‘mineral’ feel, and cool fine acidity, all the grip and perfume on a long finish. Beautifully made, and has an Italianate feel to it, which is something of a signature underlining these 2021 releases." Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Source: Hand harvested from the home vineyard block planted in 1996.

Clone: Mostly PT23 with a few others not identified.

Winemaking Notes: 25% whole bunch. Open pot fermented with daily hand plunging. After cold-soaking fermentation starting naturally and was later assisted by the addition of cultured yeasts. Aged for 10 months in well-seasoned French oak barriques.

Characteristics: A richer fruited Shiraz this year that carries its 14.4% ABV extremely well. Rich dark plum, spice, vanilla and dark chocolate. Whilst medium bodied it is quite dense and has a smooth pepper/spice carry through the long and savoury palate.

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.
