Description

Tim Adams was ahead of the curve when he planted Pinot Gris in Clare Valley back in the ‘90s, believing the region’s cool nights and long ripening season could do just as well for Gris as it does for Riesling. Safe to say, he was right - this has become one of Australia’s go-to Pinot Gris, offering serious quality without the price tag to match.

The 2024 vintage had a cooler ripening season, which meant great flavour development while keeping that crisp, refreshing acidity. True to Tim Adams’ style, the wine keeps its natural rose-gold hue - no stripping away the colour here - letting the variety shine in its purest form.

Bright, easy to drink, and made for food, it’s the kind of wine that works just as well at a backyard lunch as it does with midweek takeout. Best enjoyed young and fresh.

Description

Rather than removing the naturally occurring colour from our Pinot Gris, as a true expression of varietal character we choose to retain it in this wine. The resultant rose-gold hue complements the well lifted opulent pear, lychee and white peach aromas and flavours.

There certainly is no mistaking the variety in the bottle; this vintage is yet another classic example of our very popular style!

Winemaking Notes

Harvested in the cool of the early morning, Pinot Gris from optimum vineyard sites throughout the Clare Valley was crushed, chilled to 5 degrees and pressed, the pressings separated. A cool fermentation for two weeks has produced maximum lifted varietal fruit expression. Individual vineyard parcels were filtered before carefully blending together. The wine has been cold and protein stabilised to industry standards, fined, filtered and immediately bottled under screw cap to encapsulate the flavours and ensure freshness.

Growing Conditions

The 2024 vintage is a result of a challenging but rewarding growing season for Pinot Gris. with the cooler than average temperatures resulting in a longer ripening period and higher flavours intensity and concentration in the fruit. The mild summer has retained good natural acidity, providing a refreshing subtle citrus zest, crisp crunchy fruit character with balanced residual sweetness in the middle palate.

Food Pairing

A great food-wine; enjoy while it is young and vibrant, with Asian cuisine, seafood and salads.

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.
