Description

The 2021 Sidewood Estate Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir is offers some extreme bang for buck.

It's all about quality from the first sip to the very last drop for their - hand picked fruit from high altitude vines, a little bit of whole bunch, a little bit of whole berries, then set to relax for 10 months in 100% French Oak.

Red berried, brambly with a little bit of spice, it's the perfect mid-week Pinot.

96 Points - "Hand picked, partial whole bunch/berry wild-yeast fermentation, maturation in French barrels for 10 months. Sidewood consistently over-delivers with its immaculately made wines. The perfumed red flower bouquet opens another door to the complex, layered palate, with savoury wild red berries and spice to close." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

90 Points - "Good depth of colour. There's a distinctly stemmy overlay on the nose here, but it's not too dominant, and florals, strawberry and even blackcurranty fruit mix in nicely. In the mouth it's light to middleweight with quenching balance and a savoury, sustained finish." - Ralph Kyte-Powell (The Real Review)

Hand picked from low yielding vines at our high altitude, cool climate 300 acre estate in Oakbank. The grapes were chilled for 24-48 hours prior to a partial whole-bunch, whole-berry ferment, using only wild yeast. Extended maceration and maturation in 100% French Oak barrels for 10 months. Displaying complex aromas of strawberries and cream with hints of forest floor. The palate is seamless and elegant. Red fruits with enticing gamey characters swirl within layers of mushroom and notes of fresh herbs. The French oak adds ample but delicate tannins delivering a generous delightful length. Savour on its own or enjoy as an outstanding accompaniment to a duck or game dish, alternatively stuffed wild mushrooms as a vegetarian option. Drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve with careful cellaring.

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.
