Description
This one’s been a long time coming. A decade ago, Brendan and Laura Carter teamed up with Peter Godden and his Talc Hill Vineyard in Gumeracha—an absolute passion project aimed at producing Australia’s finest Nebbiolo.
Fast forward ten years of hand-picking and relentless dedication to the site, and we’ve got the 2022 ‘Gumeracha’ Nebbiolo, a realisation of the Carter's earliest Italian-inspired winemaking dreams.
Crafted from 10 different Nebbiolo clones (with a cheeky 5% Barbera thrown into the mix), this wine is born from the unique calcareous clay soils of an actual talc mine. It's a Nebbiolo that’s as serious as they come. It’s elegant yet powerful, offering layers of savoury complexity, with subtle floral notes and that trademark fine tannin structure.
With only 100 bottles produced, this is the Carters’ pièce de résistance—Nebbiolo done their way, from a vineyard they’ve nurtured for a decade. For fans of Italy’s Piedmont wines, this is a new Australian contender to savour.
"(This fruit) graced the original Truffle Hound, Exocarpus, Pastafarian - but in 2022 - the fruit was such a high quality, and in such tiny amounts - we thought it best to keep aside, just to see what extra elevage could achieve. Achieve, it did. Our first release of 'Gumeracha'. An Australian Nebbiolo we're proud of, and a culmination of a decade of hard work."

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.
