Description

This joyous wine is sourced from two Nebbiolo vineyards in the Colbinabbin subregion of Heathcote, known for its iron rich soils.

Pat Underwood works cleverly in the winery treating the two parcels separately then combining them with a touch of magic to create an expression of the grape that is as unique as it is great value.

Raspberry, cherry, bitter orange, amaro, herbs, musk stick, this wine is full of surprises. Imagine oh so serious Nebbiolo cutting loose in Lanzarote... it's wild, energetic, and more fun than you ever knew possible!

91 points - "Super! Juice! Yes, Super, Juice.

It’s a very light weight red of crunch and zest, great energy and thirst-quenching vitality. Cranberry drink, pomegranate juice, rose hip tea and general cherry and red berry freshness. A bit slick then finishes with saline, minerally freshness. Nice. Cool red of general ease of drinking in the vogue of chillable reds and tartness, dryness and light savoury detail. Not fancy, but wonderfully drinkable." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    Nectar from the gods

    Incredibly tasty and well named little red. I now have an official place in my fridge where one bottle of this will always reside.

    2022 Little Reddie NEW! Nebbiolo Super Juice
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Light, tart, juicy Nebbiolio

    Deliciously light, pomegranate forward with some savouriness. Works best chilled.

Willoughby Bridge Vineyard, Colbinabbin, Heathcote G.I

So bright in the glass, with transparency that promises the drinkability to come.
Sexy perfume—blackberry bush (sappy and fruity), crushed fresh cherries, and a wet rock/gravelly mineral aroma that gives all this fruity fun a seriously alluring edge.
Bright red candied cherries are cut with a salivating amaro-like bitterness, reminiscent of a great negroni without the sugar. Lots of fresh mint, dill, and rosemary in the glass.
Tight-grained tannins keep the wine vertical and long.

A perfume and fruit explosion from a unique site. Made without any additions.

Vineyard
A Block and C Block at Willoughby Bridge Vineyard.
Both planted to CVT230 clone Nebbiolo, grafted in 2016 on very fine, iron- and clay-rich soils. North–South orientation.

Winemaking
An early-harvested, direct-pressed free-run rosé from A Block was picked on 19th February and fermented in old puncheons, where healthy yeast were encouraged with air circulation.

C Block was picked a few days later, destemmed, and inoculated with a large amount of the earlier harvested A Block. Fermentation proceeded undisturbed. It was pressed at six days to stainless steel, with a further addition of the earlier A Block ferment post-pressing.

The wine was exposed to oxygen early to help yeast complete fermentation and support tannin resolution.

Once settled, it was racked to old puncheons and hogsheads. Only the most aromatic and slinky barrels were selected for the final Super Juice blend.

Bottled without addition or filtration.

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.
