Description

Shobbrook says his Cabernet Franc is going from strength to strength and tasting this, we tend to agree.

The fruit hails from the Vine Vale subregion of Barossa Valley and the vineyard consistently serves up very small, concentrated berries, giving what can often be a loose knit and leafy variety some serious concentration and depth.

The nose is wonderfully fragrant and the palate a mouthful of brambly berry fruit. It is the structure however, that really sets this wine apart. It's silky and lush with tightly woven, fine tannins that give a lovely creaminess.

As Tom himself says 'this is a bottle of excitement'.

94 Points - "So fragrant, wild herbs, fennel, dark cherry, plum, tobacco. Silky textured with building web of tannins, supple, inky fruit, exceptional length, a web of fine tannins, superb finish with sweet fruit and herbs. " - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

The Cab franc 2021 from this second release is looking even more exciting than the 2020. I was happy with last years, if not a little impressed. The latest version however is a bottle of excitement.

The tiny little berries from Vine Vale give great concentration, bright fruit and lovely tannins. There is no way to avoid this powerful yet supple ink that these vines seem to give us.

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.
