Description

The Trott Vineyard Grenache has everything you want from this grape and region, culminating in a wonderful drinking experience.

Sourced from dry-grown bush vines at the Trott vineyard in Blewitt Springs, planted in 1952 (yes, seven decades ago). After a ten-day fermentation, it was basket pressed and aged on its lees, adding body and texture while retaining purity.

Bright and floral with red fruits and spice, the wine presents cranberry, raspberry, orange peel, and cinnamon. The tannins are fine and dusty, with medium acidity making this is a fresh and satisfying wine.

A single vineyard Grenache sourced from Sue Trott's vineyard in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale. The Vineyard's dry grown bush vines were planted in 1952 and are grown on deep Maslin Sand over clay and ironstone. Vineyard is situated at 210m above sea level on an East facing slope.

Fruit was hand harvested, 10% whole bunch, remainder de-stemmed into stainless steel open fermenters. The ferment spent 10 days on skins, during which time it was gently plunged to ensure optimum extraction whilst maintaining the delicate aromatics. Wine was basket pressed off of skins before maturation and malolactic fermentation on lees to retain fruit purity and freshness. Vegan friendly.

95 Points - "Dry grown bush vines planted in 1952. Ripe raspberry, spice, blood orange, dried flowers. Medium-bodied, stony with a graphite sort of feel, deep fruit, all of them red, juicy cranberry acidity, a pleasing twist of amaro flavour, and a long finish, kind of savoury and meaty, but also with that depth and intensity of fresh berries. The carry of firm tannin as it closes is something of a highlight. Top shelf." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

94 Points - “A stark contrast of terroir's nuances with the Smart site, this is pithy and firm of texture, like biting into hard-skinned, juicy berries. Tactile and pliant. Raspberry, poached and macerated in liqueur, orange peel and star anise. Floral and beautifully fitted, without any forfeit of savouriness. Long and al dente tannic of texture, there is loads to love here. Grenache of a high order and pedigree.” - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)

90 Points - "Deep red-purple colour, bright, the aromas fresh and fruit-driven with herbal overtones and a trace of gamey reduction. This cleared to reveal more red-fruit bonbon aromas. There are some edgy tannins and the wine is medium bodied, the fruit bright and fresh. It responds well to airing." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

94 Points - "The fruit for this 2021 100 Trott Vineyard Grenache Blewitt Springs is sourced from Sue Trott's low-yielding bush-vine vineyard in Blewitt Springs. Producers get all misty-eyed when they talk about this vineyard. The fruit speaks for itself, or for her, as the case may be. Here, the wine is leafy, concentrated, fresh and spicy, with layers of salty licorice, blackberry, raspberry and black tea. In the mouth, oolong/orange blossom comes to the fore, with a plume of fine tannins that expand in the mouth over time. This is a supple, concentrated and ductile wine. Very smart. A credit to the vineyard and the winemaking." - Erin Larkin (Robert Parker Wine Advocate)

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.

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.
