Description

The story of how Gruner Veltliner came to be at Lark Hill is an interesting one, and a brave one. It started with renowned wine writer Jancis Robinson remarking that the variety would be well suited to their site in the Canberra district. An obsession with the grape, and with biodynamic farming, soon followed.

In 2009 they released Australia's first commercially successful Gruner and have been at the head of the pack ever since, along with Hahndorf Hill in the Adelaide Hills.

This wine shows class Gruner Veltliner characters of cut herbs, green melon, white pepper & black fig. The palate shows texture and length from skins contact and barrel fermentation, and is balanced with steely acidity. Drink now for its vibrancy or cellar for 5+ years for richness and complexity.

92 Points - "The legacy continues for this premier rendition of the variety. Biodynamic farmed. Softer than expected, a bit plush, not untoward in that way but has some bandwidth to it. Lots of green mango, tonic water, kohlrabi, fig and fennel here. Good scents, good flavours, lots of the latter and a supple finish. Round and smooth. A medium weight white that does the variety great justice." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

In 2009 we produced Australia’s first Gruner Veltliner and now 10 years on this distinctive variety is firmly established.

With flavours of cut herbs, ripe fig and white pepper, fine texture and mineral acidity, our GV is a delicious food friendly wine. It has also demonstrated a capacity to develop wonderful depth and complexity with age. Our vineyards are managed using Biodynamic principles for sustainability and to best express their unique terroirs

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.
