Description

Dan Graham's wines are non-conformist. Take his interesting twist on a GSM, convention making way for creativity.

The Sigurd Red Blend is a vibrant and unconventional expression of the Barossa Valley. Named after his Dan's great-grandfather, this wine embodies both tradition and innovation, with a nod to his Nordic heritage. The blend brings together Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Mourvedre, Lagrein, and a touch of Cinsault, each variety contributing to a wine that’s both bold and playful.

The fruit is sourced from old and young vines across Ebenezer and Vine Vale, with each component fermented separately and aged in a mix of old French oak barrels and large foudres for 14 months.

This medium-bodied red opens with deep, savoury aromas of wild forest berries and exotic spices. The palate is juicy and dynamic, offering layers of dark plum and just-ripe raspberry, balanced by a hint of forest floor. A fresh, crunchy acidity ties it all together, making this wine as intriguing as it is approachable. 

It's vibrant, plush, full-flavoured, dark and meaty - the whole Barossa package, modern and traditional.

    Well rounded / smooth Shiraz-based blend

    Had this originally at Beau in Surry Hills, Sydney which had a great wine list. Was happy to find it here alongside some others on the menu to recreate the experience at home.

The Red Blend epitomises the diversity of varietals across the Barossa and our portfolio, deep and savoury on the nose with a wide fruit spectrum of wild forest berries and exotic spices. Juicy, fun but with a serious side, the dark wild plum on the palate, and just a hint of forest undergrowth to intrigue. On the palate the crunchy acid helps to bring together to wild berry and spice mix and soft tannin profile. 2022 was a great year showing power and finesse.

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.
