Description

Gamay is a grape growing in popularity in Australia, and those who work with it tend to love what it can offer.

The Adelaide Hills have become a popular region for growing the grape, and the Worlds Apart Blue Eyes Gamay is a demonstration of what can be achieved.

While it's quite a savoury wine, there is some lovely primary, red fruits on show and some acid zing to keep things lively. With lovely balance between all the different components, this is a Gamay that is sure to please.

93 points, "Three clones of gamay co-planted, and from young vines; 100% whole bunch. Red fruits sit front and centre, with whole-bunch, white peppery spice seasoning. This shows a little more flesh than last year, and pleasingly so. Smashed tart red cherries, sour plum and a little kirsch. Happily, this looks distinctly varietal, and is not a pinot noir lookalike, with cherry-pit pithiness and crisp natural acid refreshment pleasing features." - Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)

Three clones of gamay co-planted on the Eureka vineyard, facing East, on an old gold mine at Woodside. A single 100% whole bunch ferment, this walks the tightrope of textured strawberry compote and high energy freshness. The last thing we pick for the year, a young vineyard that has already survived bushfire and has such overwhelming promise as a great site in the Hills.

Worlds Apart

Worlds Apart is the small adventurous label of winemaker Louis Schofield and chef Hannah Jeffery.

Louis was the protege and assistant winemaker of the late Taras Ochota. From the Ochota Barrels wine studio Louis sharpened his winemaking skills and attacks the World Apart wines with a similar low-intervention but high attention to detail philosophy.

The grapes come from small local growers who farm with a sustainable ideology. These are small-batch, high-energy wines that pop out of the glass with loads of personality.

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.
