Description

The unknown Ossa wine project from Tasmania was thrust into the limelight when their debut 2000 Pinot Noir release won the Australian Pinot Noir Challenge in 2021, and scored a memorable 98 point review from the Halliday Wine Companion.

Future vintages will include their new home plantings at the Belbrook farm but for now the Pinot is a blend of fruit from premium sites in Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley and, nearer to home, Swansea on the East Coast.

The fruit feels plush and flavoursome, the palate structure is velvety and lengthy, and the balanced acidity underpins a hugely complex wine.

A phenomenal new star in Tasmania's Pinot Noir firmament that should evolve very gracefully over the next ten years.

100% Pinot Noir. 250 dozen produced.


Parcels of Pinot Noir clones 777, 114 and D5V12 were fermented separately with small inclusions of whole berry and whole cluster. Matured for 11 months in 500L French oak puncheons (15% new) with minimal intervention prior to bottling. Supple and lithe, intense flavours of cherry, plum, sweet tea and blueberry. Bright mineral acidity frames a generous fruit core overlayed with vibrant red berry and pomegranate lift. Plush, velvet tannins showcase a wine of immense charm and sophistication.

98 Points - "Remarkable depth of colour and richness: a crackingly good wine from a vineyard on the East Coast near Swansea. The wine has concentration and fleshy extract giving it real gravitas, lots of weight and richness and ample soft silky tannins, all without any loss of the lovely fragrant pinot aromatics that typify top Tassie pinot." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

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.
