Description

Texture is the thing here, it's full-bodied Roussanne in full flight, with some tangy Grenache Blanc added for a good time.

With grapes grown by Yangarra, one of the top biodynamic wine growers in the country at present, Riley Harrison had some great fruit to play with.

Roussanne spent 2 days on skins and makes up the bulk of the wine, enhanced by some rare Grenache Blanc, that saw just 24 hours on skins. Both varieties help build the structure for these beautiful fruit flavours to show themselves.

It's round and rich but fresh at the same time. Good stuff for lovers of hearty white wines with a bit of grunt.

94 Points - "Textural feast. Delicious, moreish, vibrant white of intense freshness and general energy. Cucumber in tonic water, a touch of cashew, green apple, lime juice. Lively in flavours and scents. Length, vitality, refreshment. It’s a fantastic white wine." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    Delicious

    Just that - delicious. I could describe the nose and palate, acidity and balance, but it would just beat the point.

A nod to the blended white wines of Southern France. The Roussanne and Grenache Blanc grapes that make up this blend are from the meticulously farmed Yangarra Estate vineyard.


Texture is the key with this wine. The Roussanne spends 2 days on skins and the Grenache Blanc is left for 24 hours. Silty, chalky, powdery.


Licks of freshly cut pear, spice-laden apple pie and a whisper of chamomile flow effortlessly through a fine dusting of powdery tannin.


Don't drink this wine too cold and drink it with gusto.

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.
