Description

Anton Van Klopper’s Noir de Florette showcases his signature approach to natural winemaking—expressive, thoughtful, and endlessly drinkable. This is Pinot Noir reimagined, offering a playful yet nuanced take on one of the Adelaide Hills’ most iconic grapes.

The fruit comes from two organic vineyards in the Piccadilly Valley: the east-facing Deanery Vineyard in Balhannah, with its red clay over sandstone soils, and the sandy alluvial Cemetery Block near Uraidla. The Pinot undergoes six days of carbonic maceration in a 2500-litre fibreglass tank before the free-run juice and light pressings are transferred to 800-litre ceramic eggs to finish fermentation. The wine matures in the same vessels, preserving its vibrant, delicate character.

Expect a light and fresh style, with lifted aromatics and bright energy. It’s the kind of wine that benefits from a slight chill and begs to be enjoyed outdoors with friends. Cheerful yet detailed, it’s a testament to Anton’s ability to bring a sense of joy and place to every bottle.

Natural, organic, and deeply authentic, this wine is a must-try for anyone seeking a new side of Pinot Noir. Quantities are as limited as the wine is unique, so don’t miss out!

12.5% alcohol. This year, Anton’s Noir de Florette is 100% Pinot Noir from two vineyards in the heart of the Piccadilly Valley. Half the fruit is sourced from an east-facing block on red clay soils over sandstone at Deanery Vineyard in Balhannah. The other half comes from mature vines in the sandy alluvial soils of the famed Cemetery Block site near Uraidla. Farming at both sites is organic. The fruit ferments carbonically for six days in a 2500-litre fibreglass tank. Anton then takes only the free-run juice and light pressings and places them in 800-litre ceramic eggs to finish fermenting. The wine matures in the same vessels.

93 points - "Squeaky, fresh, cool and alpine herb laced purple fruited number here with pleasing cherry and mulberry characters jostling around. Lighter weight, neat and tidy but expressive and interesting overall. Frisky acidity closes things clean and super bright. Energetic red, with savoury qualifications, but overall fostering conversations around purity of fruit." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    This was so delicious. Perfect chilled wine to drink on a warm spring night sitting around a campfire.

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.
