Description

A stroke of genius from winemaker Tim Sproal

Named for the late Christopher Hitchens, this wine is less about deep contemplation as was Hitch's way, this is more about fun and frivolity. Whole berry action and a short maceration keep the tannins at bay and bring forth the acid and bright red fruit.

The resulting glass of wine is about as fun and perky as a red wine gets. Knock a little chill into it. Don't take life too seriously.

Hitch has changed form over the years, but he goal has remained unchanged; a light red for spring packing loads of bright red fruit, acid and texture that’s ideal for drinking in Australian summers.

This wine, grown by Chalmers in Northern Heathcote, celebrates Sangiovese in its youth, and comes an earlier pick and a shorter maceration of whole berries without work of the ferment. A short maceration to temper the tannin and hold tight to acid and fruit. Over winter, Hitch rested in barrel to soften tannins and was racked to tank, by gravity, in Spring. Bottled in late Spring with a small sulphur addition.

This wine is vivid, fresh and aromatic, with raspberries, cranberries and red jelly frogs and velvety tannins from front to back, the IDEAL chill able red and perfect for outdoor drinking. I adore sangiovese in its youth….such delicious fruit, and whilst this isn’t a super reinforced dense expression, the form is linear and complete and holds the fruit very gracefully.

Please enjoy….all summer.

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.
