Description

This is a fantastic light and pale Rose made in the mode of Provence.

Tinta Barocca is traditionally used in the production of Port but makes for an excellent Rose also when in the capable hands of Michael Corbett.

It was grown by the Bassham family in the Riverland, an organic source of interesting varieties for small producers to draw from.

This is dry, textural and very pretty aromatically. So very well turned out by Corbett and his team.

SOURCED FROM BASSHAM VINEYARD BARMERA, RIVERLAND
We’ve always thought of the La Petite Vanguard as being our example of a Bistro-style wine – the experimental sibling to Vanguardist. Youthful & vibrant, with great drinkability, enhanced by layers of complexity from thoughtful use of solids, skin contact, oak and other vessels.

VINEYARD AND WINERY
Introducing our inaugural rosé under the La Petite Vanguard label, crafted from a Portuguese variety, Tinta Barocca. This varietal boasts a soft, full-bodied, and rustic profile, with delightful notes of cherry and blackberries.

The fruit is grown using organic and biodynamic practices by the Bassham family in the Riverland, South Australia.

Hand-harvested in the cool of the morning and sent directly to the press as whole bunches, a gentle and extended press cycle was employed to naturally minimize color extraction.

After being racked off juice lees after 2 days, the wine was allowed to start fermenting spontaneously in an inox tank, remaining on gross lees for 5 months before being racked and sulfured. One final soutirage before bottling occurred to get the wine ‘cellar bright’ before being bottled without fining or filtration.

This fresh and lively ‘ROSADO’ is a versatile companion, perfect for enhancing your dining experiences or for savoring on its own.

Vanguardist

Vanguardist is an up and coming producer from McLaren Vale started by three friends after many long nights in Hawkes Bay talking about their shared love of wine.

Their mission is to bring premium, authentic, small-batch wines to a market they see as crowded by "overly commercialised wines produced by corporates who take up all the elbow room."

They source very high-quality fruit from great vineyards across South Australia, looking to build wines with texture and vibrancy.

With experienced winemaker Michael Corbett at the helm, the future looks bright for this plucky challenger brand.

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.
