Description

Chris and Camille at Fetherston craft their Pinot Noirs with a fine balance of sweet and savoury characters.

Jam-packed with cranberry and redcurrant flavours paired with some exotic five-spice notes. The mouthfeel is smooth and loose-knit, with a laissez-faire attitude.

Taste, imbibe and smile.

Vivid ruby in colour, this wine delivers broody aromas of black cherry, sweet spices, amaro, wild fennel and vanilla bean. The palate reveals an array of raspberry, bouquet garni and sandalwood. It's delicately poised with fine, dusty tannins, harmonious acidity and exceptional length.

Crafted from three premium Yarra Valley sites, combining both MV6 and D2V4 (pommard) Pinot Noir clones. The first parcel was hand-picked on the 20th of February, with the final parcel coming in on the 1st of April. All batches were fermented wild utilising different ratios of whole-bunches, the final blend equating to 25%. Matured in French oak puncheons (30% new), where it saw 10 months élevage prior to bottling.

95 Points - "A blend of MV6 and Pommard clones sourced from three Yarra Glen and Gembrook vineyards. Whole bunches (25%); matured in French oak puncheons (30% new). A light-medium ruby red. A gorgeous wine from the outset, this opens with aromas of spiced raspberries, a hint of cinnamon, lavender and violets. Equally impressive on the palate. Simultaneously creamy and with silky tannins, this tapers into a long, satisfying finish." - Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)

93 Points - "Upper Yarra Pinot Noir is always a bit light on, in a good way, but there's a touch more fruit-oomph to this release. It's still slender but its cranberried flavours are flushed through with red cherry, crushed roses and sweet herbs, and while at times I also saw cedarwood oak it kept disappearing back into the wine. That's never a bad sign. Tannin is fine and deceptively assertive - it takes time and air to really show itself properly - and length is sound plus. With time this wine will build flesh and once it has I'd expect it to tip over onto gold medal status. Regardless of scores this is a wine that will mature beautifully." - 93+ points, Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

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.
