Description

Wes Pearson has a deft touch when it comes to Grenache, gently coaxing the beauty out of some of the region's best vineyards to great effect.

The Wait vineyard, planted to Grenache in 1953 in the sandy soils of the Blewitt Springs sub-region, is one of the pre-eminent sites in the region. These old, gnarly vines produce fruit of wonderful concentration. In the hands of Wes, the fruit from these old warhorses absolutely sings.

94 Points - "Darker fruit here, boysenberry and blackberry, liquorice bullets, sage, Artline texta, a little spice. Supple and flavoursome, there's some biscuit oak in play too, dark chocolate richness, tannin sits very neatly within the wine, and the finish is good, some perfume coming up in the aftertaste. Nice wine. Plush. Needs some time to settle." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

96 Points - "Seppeltsfield grenache has a solid track record of being very good indeed. I present exhibit A, your honour. It's a pretty thing to smell; in fact, it's pretty hard to drag the old schnozz out of the glass. Aromas of gingerbread and an array of blossom notes flutter above the pure dark plum, cranberry and mulberry fruits. Hints of raspberry coulis, matcha, cola, turned earth and berry flan. Perfectly weighted. Plush and ripe before magically morphing into a savoury-shaped beauty with tight, powdery tannins and ever-present spiced plum and raspberry on the exit. Tremendous stuff." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

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.
