Peter Dredge is at it again, crafting a lightning bolt of a Pinot Noir that perfectly captures the tension, purity, and complexity of Tasmania’s fruit. Dredge says it's the densest and most complex Tasmanian Pinot he's made under the Dr. Edge banner in its 10-year history... Sign us up!
The 2024 Dr. Edge Tasmania Pinot Noir is a blend of Derwent Valley (60%) and Tamar Valley (40%) fruit, stitched together from 13 different parcels, each treated separately by clone, vineyard, and varying levels of whole-bunch fermentation.
Wild-fermented using the Pied de Cuve method, the wine was pressed into a mix of seasoned oak casks and Italian concrete tanks, where it rested for 9 months before bottling unfined. This vintage leans into density and depth, with the concrete element adding minerality and brightness, while the oak-matured parcels bring softness and mealy texture.
This Pinot hums with energy. Aromatically, it’s crushed red berries, wild herbs, and spice, with a faint earthy edge keeping things grounded. The palate is bright yet structured, layering red cherry, cranberry, and fine, silken tannins over a long, flowing finish.
This is Dr. Edge at full throttle - an electric Tasmanian Pinot Noir that won’t last long on the shelves. Don’t hesitate.
94 points
"Cherry, raspberry, nice and aromatic, with a dried flower perfume, plus a little sap and spice, and an undercurrent of something a bit earthy or clay-like. It’s medium-bodied, again the violet and rose perfume amongst juicy cherry and blue fruit, toasted hazelnuts, a light dusty grain and grip to tannin, cranberry acidity, a little blood orange tang, with a bright finish of excellent length. Delightful wine. Lovely energy and sense of purity here."

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.
