Description

The Dhillon Col Mountain Grenache hails from the rocky, steep slopes of the Col Mountain vineyard in central Heathcote. Crafted with the same meticulous care as Michael Dhillon’s renowned Pinot Noirs, this Grenache exudes a vibrance and freshness.

This vintage offers a captivating nose with aromas of pomegranate, rhubarb, and raspberry. The palate is smooth and energetic, medium-bodied, with bright fruit and supple tannins. The chalky tannins provide a focused, flowing finish, dragging you back to the glass. It has fruit weight but is not exactly what you would class as a 'big red' but it's got a big personality.

Produced with gentle handling, similar to Dhillon’s approach to Pinot Noir, the 2023 Grenache balances freshness with a touch more colour and weight. As the fourth vintage of Grenache from Dhillon, it continues to deliver delicious, refined flavours that showcase the exceptional potential of this Heathcote site in the hands of one of Australia's best winemakers.

    I drink Pinot Noir but this Grenache is fabulous.

    Softer and lighter bodied Grenache so very much suited my palate. Pure, perfumed with a hint of strawberries. Very easy to drink and pairs really well with duck breast and crab pasta.

We are having a lot of fun making and learning about Grenache (warm climate Pinot!). The rocky and steep Col Mountain vineyard in central Heathcote is a fabulous site for this impressive variety. The wine is made like the Pinot Noir, with similar ripeness levels. It has a little more colour and weight most years but remains fresh and medium bodied. The 2023 has a seductive array of aromas, across pomegranate, rhubarb and raspberry. It is also quite perfumed. The palate is smooth and energetic with medium weight presence. It has a lovely balance with pippy tannins driving the length in a relatively tight and flowing way. This is the fourth vintage of Grenache we have made and the wines have the hallmark lick of chalky tannin. Delicious.

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.
