Description

The Even Keel Pinot Noir is the entry level Pinot Noir release from talented Mornington Peninsula vigneron, Sam Coverdale.

Sam makes some outstanding single vineyard Pinot Noirs from his Mornington sites.

The Even Keel sees the sites blended into a soft, slippery, approachable Pinot Noir with loads of fruit and a tickle of spice.

A sumptuous and seductive look at Pinot from the Peninsula.

Solid value from this premium wine region.

Bright nose of red sorbet fruits – strawberries and red cherries, and a background of gamey notes. On the palate it’s concentrated with flavours of savoury red fruits, pure and bright, with pretty dried herbs, dusty tannins and great length.


The fruit is handpicked across multiple vineyards and blocks and destemmed into 2 & 5 ton open fermenters as whole berries and left to start fermenting naturally. Once fermentation starts strongly, the ferment is hand plunged 2-3 times per day for 15 days. The wine is left on skins for post ferment maturation for up to 15 days, then pressed off skins and racked to barrel. Seasoned oak is used, then it is racked and returned to barrel in the summer. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration in the autumn of the following year, giving it a total of 10 months in oak.

92 Points - "You can’t help but admire the dry spiciness of this wine. It smells and tastes authentic, pure, savoury and attractive, its strawberry-cherry, sweet-sour flavours laid with earth, spice and twig notes galore. There’s nothing particularly profound about it and yet it does everything right, particularly in flavour-profile and shape-of-palate terms. It’s drinking a treat already but there’s no real hurry." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

    Loved this!

    This was a delicious and easy Pinot to drink! Had it out at a restaurant and loved it so much that we ordered it from Different Drop.

    Highly recommend!

    Our go to

    Simply a 10/10 Pinot Noir. It’s too hard to stop at one-two glasses as it’s that good. Full bodied, oaky taste that is light in colour.

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.
