2024 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Pinot Noir
This is the wine that kicked it all off for Ricky Evans, and after 13 vintages, it just keeps getting better. A true snapshot of the Tamar Valley, TMV Pinot blends fruit from Ricky’s own vineyards with a couple of trusted growers, delivering a cracking Pinot that’s both effortless and detailed.
Think bright red berries—raspberry, wild strawberry, a bit of cranberry—wrapped up in fine, chalky tannins with a flicker of spice. There’s just enough whole bunch (10%) to add a little lift, and a stint in old barriques (only 10% new) keeps everything fresh, juicy, and dangerously easy to drink.
Pure Tassie Pinot pleasure—made to be opened, enjoyed, and probably finished faster than you planned. Stocks are always tight, so don’t sit on your hands.
2022 The Pawn El Desperado Red Blend
The El Desperado is Tom Keelan’s rebellious take on a red blend, born from his ethos of championing alternative varieties and artisanal winemaking.
A blend of Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Shiraz, and Montepulciano sourced from The Pawn’s Macclesfield vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, this medium-bodied wine is as versatile as it is slurpable. Each variety brings its own flair: Sangiovese offers cherry cola aromatics and fine tannins, Tempranillo adds a perfumed lift and spice, Shiraz deepens the colour and delivers plush berry fruits, while Montepulciano provides a bold intensity and structure.
Since its first release in 2011, El Desperado has been aboutf breaking free from the corporate wine game to highlight the potential of overlooked varieties. This wine is made to be approachable, food-friendly, and utterly drinkable—so much so, you’ll find the bottle gone before you know it.
A bit unconventional and yet endlessly satisfying, all at a great price, this is a little ripper from Tom Keelan.
94 points & Top 100 Wines of 2024
"“Drinkability” is a rubbery term thrown around recklessly by wine types, but for me it’s best explained by reaching for a second glass and realising you’ve actually finished the bottle. Tom Keelan’s wines have always had that quality, none more so than this slippery – dare I say it, sexy – blend of sangiovese, tempranillo, shiraz and montepulciano from the Adelaide Hills. It will have you desperate for more."

2023 Koerner La Korse Sangiovese Blend
The Koerner brothers are running head on at Clare Valley wine. They've put together one of the region's most dynamic ranges of wine, investigating unsung pockets of the area with energy and creativity. It's exciting stuff.
The La Korse is not your average Clare Valley red. Here the boys combine Sangiovese, Grenache and Sciaccarello with a splash of Carignan & Malbec to create a vibrant, mischievous red with epic drinkability.
This is a new look Clare Valley red.
2021 Brash Higgins MCC Mataro Cinsault Carignan
Brad and Nicole from Brash Higgins have crafted something bright and dangerously drinkable with their 2021 MCC blend—a mix of Mataro, Cinsault, and Carignan that captures the sunny essence of McLaren Vale. This trio of Rhône varieties is here to show that the region is about more than just Grenache and Shiraz.
It all began in 2013 when Brash was asked what should be planted at a new vineyard. Their answer? Mataro, Cinsault, and Carignan—perfect for a climate reminiscent of Southern France. Grown in Michael Lennon’s sustainably farmed vineyard with cracking clay over limestone, this wine captures the earthiness and sun of McLaren Vale.
The 2021 MCC focuses on freshness and balance. The blend is dominated by whole-bunch Mataro, co-fermented with Cinsault and Carignan to achieve bright, peppery, and floral flavours. It’s supple, juicy, and easy-drinking, with cherry fruit from the Cinsault and a wild rose touch from the Carignan.
Mike Bennie called it a "super-slurper"—enough spice to keep you interested, but soft and supple enough for effortless drinking. Chill it down, share it with mates, and enjoy with something fun like yum cha. It’s Brash Higgins at its best—laid-back yet memorable, with just 13% alcohol and a lot of good times.
"I reckon you could say this is confidently styled as a just-shy of medium weight super-slurper, soft and sweet fruited, chillable (perhaps) red of easy drinking style. It doesn’t get out of second gear (enough complexity per se) or shape itself with an ideal of fancy tannin, but what’s hear is fragrant, gulpable, ribald red-blue-black fruited, spicy enough gear to please all comers and deliver an easy drinking experience. I’d love this with yum cha, was the word association that came to mind."

2023 Aphelion The Confluence Grenache
The Aphelion The Confluence Grenache is a brilliant showcase of Rob Mack's mastery of McLaren Vale Grenache. Sourced predominantly from the prestigious Blewitt Springs subregion, this vibrant and expressive wine seamlessly blends whole berry and whole bunch ferments to create a Grenache that is complex yet fantastically drinkable.
In the glass, it’s a stunning, bright red with purple hues. Aromatics of raspberry, cinnamon spice, and red liquorice leap out, with a hint of herbal intrigue. On the palate, you’ll find wild strawberry, Satsuma plum, and fine sandalwood, balanced by soft, fine tannins that give the wine a beautiful length and poise. Despite its intensity, the Confluence remains light on its feet—packed with flavour but never heavy.
Perfect for drinking now but capable of evolving through to 2035, this is a wine that works equally well on its own or paired with food. Whether you’re enjoying a casual evening on the deck or indulging in a special meal, the 2023 Confluence Grenache is a versatile, crowd-pleasing bottle that reflects the best, brightest side of of McLaren Vale Grenache.

"This is all charm, but with a distinctly sophisticated elegance of delivery, with all the expected pops of red fruit – raspberry, red cherry, redcurrant, some pomegranate – conveyed with vibrancy but never confection, florals, white pepper, musk and a hint of orange peel accenting. The tannins are fine, naturally wrought, food friendly and perfectly synched with the medium fruit weight. Just lovely."
- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)

"Strawberry, raspberry, a fair amount of spice, a little twist of orange peel and amaro herbs too. It’s medium-bodied, offers bright cranberry crunch to acidity, and the quality of the tannin is something of a highlight – kind of like pumice stone – then it’s all juicy red fruit with a cinch of bitterness and a savoury flourish closing out a finish of fine length. It’s really good. It has energy, and it drinks very well too."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
2024 Lambert Crudo Shiraz
Cool-climate Shiraz done right. Luke Lambert’s Crudo Shiraz is bright, spicy, and effortlessly drinkable, offering a Rhône-like balance of perfume, freshness, and savoury detail. It’s the perfect entry point into Lambert’s style - more approachable in its youth than his collectable Syrah, but still packed with personality.
Sourced from 22-year-old vines on the granite soils of Denton Vineyard, the fruit was fermented with just 10% whole bunches to keep the focus on spicy blueberry fruit and fine, mineral-laced tannins. Maturation took place in huge 5000L seasoned barrels, and the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
This year it's all blue fruits, black pepper, and a wisp of reduction, all wrapped in silky, talcy tannins and a savoury, mineral finish. It’s supple, fleshy, and built for drinking now, but with enough tension to hold up in the cellar.
Lambert describes it as drinking “a little like a good Dolcetto” which is a pretty good call if you're thinking about weight, freshness and lift. Lovers of Luke's wines and/or cool climate Shiraz should back up the truck.

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.

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.
