Description

There's some very interesting things amongst the Eldorado Road range, and none more so than the Quasimodo.

'Quasi' is a blend of Nero d'Avola, Durif and Shiraz from four Victorian regions - Eldorado, Beechworth, Glenrowan & Rutherglend.

The Durif gives the grunt, Shiraz gives the spice and structure and Nero brings the lift is the general story.

Interest and immense drinkability, this is a versatile red perfect for all occasions.

95 points
"Three grape varieties are sourced from four North East wine regions, each bringing its own particular qualities to bear. Most definitely medium bodied, emphatically approachable and full of drinking pleasure in layers of dark fruits, lifted spices, chocolate, tilled earth, warm oak and well-managed tannins, all seamlessly blended. Fab quality for the price."
- Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

To understand Quasimodo you must venture beyond the surface and explore the inner soul. As individual varietal wines they can struggle for love but when blended together they can sing, shine and bring harmony

Quasimodo is a unique Australian blend of Nero d'Avola, Shiraz & Durif sourced from the regions of Eldorado, Beechworth, Glenrowan and Rutherglen. It's an amalgam of flavour and colour culminating in a complex rewarding wine.

We are very conscious not to over extract the fruit as we want Quasimodo to be a wine that is a pleasure to drink in its youth, with or without food, so as with all our reds it was hand plunged once daily and gently basket pressed straight to oak. Unfined, lightly filtered, Vegan Friendly

    A good blend.

    I was searching for Nero D'avola and blends and found this by accident. The description was sufficiently

    compelling to take the risk (for 4 bottles), and I find it good value. I'd not hesitate to get more.

    A Blend that Works Well

    Sweet red fruits on the nose. Palate shows good mouth feel with similar sweet fruits supported by subtle oak tannins. Long finish. Excellent wine

    A perfect compromise

    A beautiful smooth red that is a little different but very easy to drink. As it isn’t too heavy on the durif, it can be enjoyed by those who like lighter flavours.

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.
