Description

The Kerri Greens farmed the Silverwood vineyard since the 2016 vintage. The fruit from this site has come along in leaps and bounds, and it definitely shows through this beautiful Pinot.

A selection of rows in the Silverwood Vineyard are chosen for this cuvee, the fruit then treated softly and lovingly through its whole berry fermentation and ageing process, to then emerge as this majestic wine.

Brimming with plush ripe fruit and a sense of tension that is reminiscent of Nebbiolo or similar, this is very high level Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir here and a steal at the price for the quality on offer.

92 Points - "Cherries. Fresh and cooked. Cherry pie. Licks of flint. Button mushrooms. Spicy aftertaste. There's an underlying sweetness of fruit that sits low and spreads comfortably across the palate. A satisfying Pinot. Pleasing." - Kasia Sobiesiak (The Wine Front)

    Great choice

    This is a fantastic pinot in old school style. Earthy with lots of depth, a great drop for years to come, foresty but also with a lot of fruit.

Hand harvested. Foothills is a selection of rows from the Silverwood vineyard, only the MV6 clone was used.

The focus being on keeping the berries whole. Bins tipped directly into 1x2tonne and 1x3tonne fermenters. There was no addition of sulphur or yeast, the berries were left undisturbed until fermentation naturally began 4 days later. Plunging took place once daily, two times over the couple of days that the ferment was at its peak. We used 4x Francois Freres puncheons (1x new, 2x 2yr old, 1x 3yr old) and one older Hogs head for the maturation.

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.
