Description

Winemaker James Broinowski definitely cut straight to the chase when naming this wine: this Tasmanian Pinot Noir that is certainly a bit special.

It's not only a single site wine, but made from a single clone (MV6) and only a single barrel was made of it. It's a bit more dark and broody than it's sister wine, the Hoyle's Cut Pinot Noir, and the 20% whole bunches used gives it bright, vibrant aromatics and character.

Very limited release.

94 Points - "Serious Pinot Noir. Terrifically complex. Smoky and herbal, undergrowthy and intense, the latter in a varietal context. This is one of those pinots that really lights ups the glass, thanks to its myriad nuances. It smells the goods and tastes it too, the finish then stringy and dry, but with enough still carrying on to satisfy. There's a sense that everything hasn't completely knitted just yet but it will, and then it will be beautiful" - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

96 Points - "An intoxicating nose of Campari, maraschino cherries and rosemary excites from the get-go. The palate is deep and spicy, a framework of tannins glides the flavours along. Its silky delivery tails off with savoury salted licorice tannins. This is an exciting wine, whole-bunch elements add complexity and nuance to the heart of fruit. If anyone questions Tasmania's ability to make great pinot, serve them this." - Gabrielle Poy (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.
