Description

"I’m not overly familiar with the wines of J&S Fielke but this is a pretty special producer, I’d hazard to say. The 2022 Chardonnay is fantastic. There’s plenty of interest with this 2022 Pinot Noir as well."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

Top-shelf stuff here from Jemma and Steve Fielke.

Bright and juicy and very fine-boned this is a finely detailed Pinot Noir that's a world away from the 'dry red' Pinot Noirs of the Adelaide Hills a decade ago.

It's all strawberry and flowers, fine silty tannin and glossy texture - it's a delicious and dangerously drinkable bottle of Pinot from a producer on the rise.

94 points - "I’m not overly familiar with the wines of J&S Fielke but this is a pretty special producer, I’d hazard to say. The 2022 Chardonnay is fantastic. There’s plenty of interest with this 2022 Pinot Noir as well.

The rails are silken, the tannin is both firm and grapey, the fruit has a certain insistence to it. It offers mint, strawberry, red cherry, shaving cream and twiggy spice characters as a harmonious whole, and while the flavours feel water-based there’s no lack of fruit succulence, or power, within a varietal context. There’s a macerated aspect to this, a certain undergrowth-y brood, but it remains refreshing. Score-wise I hovered around 93-94, and ended up on the latter." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

    Unexpectedly sharp finish

    I was expecting better in all honesty because the Chardonnay was really good.

    On the front this was promising, but the back end was sour and a bit sharp when you’re looking for balance, a long streamlined finish. Shame.

J&S Fielke

Jemma & Steve Fielke are two names you need to put on your radar.

Born and raised in the Adelaide Hills, the two met while studying Viticulture and Oenology at the University of Adelaide and have since spawned this boutique wine label with big plans on the horizon.

They have planted out parts of Jemma's family property in the Hills to one day make their own estate-grown wines but in the meantime, they are sourcing small parcels from Piccadilly and making some profoundly delicious wines.

The word on the street is these two will be big players in the future of the Hills. Get in now on the ground floor of this exciting emerging project.

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.
