Description

Di Renzo is the alternative label for Renzaglia, providing the opportunity to do things a little different, and be creative.

And oh how creative this is, a Pet Nat made with 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir! What an interesting wine they’ve made, super aromatic with peachy goodness, a little earthiness and hints of strawberries, juxtaposed with a dry and racy palate that is refreshment personified.

Lively and bright, this wine is very fun. Throw it in a bucket of ice, walk it to the park or beach, and throw it back with gusto!

Made with roughly 50% Chardonnay grapes purchased from Belmont Vineyard and 50% Pinot Noir from Occulus Vineyard. The fruit came in to the winery quite late for sparkling base, some of it at the end of May which meant that we were able to have a very slow and cool fermentation in the cooler months of Autumn. The goal with this wine was to make a Rural Method without it needing to be disgorged. In order to achieve this we had to cold stabalise and cold settle the juice before it had even started fermentation. This involved holding the juice at 2 degrees C for 5 days prior to fermentation. At such cool temperatures it took a long time for the wild yeast to kick off but they got there eventually. The fermentation took almost a month in the end. This slow fermentation meant that much of the solids had settled out naturally by the time we bottled and as such we have a Rural Method of remarkable clarity considering the fact it was not disgorged.

The resultant wine is overwhelmingly 'peachy' in it's nature. Peach jumps at you from all directions. Alongside some earthy, minerality and green strawberry. It's also slightly reductive. Brimming with personality.

90 Points - "Peaches and cream. Fresh pastry. Orange peel and some baked pears too. It's juicy with a generous mix of stone fruit and good intensity of flavour. Milky texture, with a little spice to it. Very tasty naturally sparkling." - Kasia Sobiesiak (The Wine Front)

Renzaglia

In 1982, defying the odds, Guy and Betty Renzaglia planted Illinois' first vines in Alto Pass.

Their son Mark joined the fight, later establishing Bella Luna vineyard in Australia's untouched O'Connell Valley with his wife Sandy. Today, their son Sam carries the torch, expanding Bella Luna while prioritizing a healthy ecosystem.

Through composting, cover crops, and respecting native fauna, they craft exceptional wines while fostering a thriving environment for generations to come.

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.
