Description

This Muscat comes from the Faber Vineyard planted back in 2000.

John Griffiths makes his fortified by blending 50% of the newly made vintage Muscat with 50% aged material to get complexity and power with freshness. This is one of the best in the country outside of Rutherglen. Fully worthy of its cult following.

As Campbell Mattinson once put it, "If you have any inclination towards Australian fortified muscat, you are quite sure to love drinking this."

95 Points - "Wow. This is viscous and complex, toffee, and raisins, almond and figs, burnt caramel, so complex, but so fresh. A whole lot of maple syrup and bright acidity, slippery, nutty, a bit of rancio and savoury stuff, scorched pecan and praline, depth and impeccable length, What a wine. Bold, nutty, alive. The balance between sweetness and savoury complexity is all. Superb" - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

97 Points - "This is sensational. It is both fresh and aged; vibrant and brooding. It is like liquid velvet in the mouth and has silken toffee, jersey caramels, fresh honeycomb, morning coffee, dark fruitcake, summer figs, date, and a plethora of other flavours in the same vein. Pure, complex and astounding." - Erin Larkin (Halliday Wine Companion)

Our Liqueur Muscat is a 20 year labour of love. We have kept each vintage separate in small old oak barrels until blending. Once a year we review all the barrels and make up a new blend. Half of this is bottled and half returned to oak for another year, making up the basis for the next blend, allowing us to achieve consistency from year to year.
The nose shows raisin and distinctive rose petal notes of semi-dried Muscat. The palate is intensely sweet and viscous, bursting with raisin, honey, and dried fig. The lusciousness of the wine is balanced by the warm spirit, and the long palate finishes dry and clean leaving intense lingering flavours in one's mouth.

Faber Vineyard

John Griffiths & Jane Micallef established Faber Vineyard in 1997, after John spent 10 years gaining all the knowledge he could on how to make fantastic warm climate wines.

They chose to plant and embrace "traditional" varieties that thrive in the Swan Valley, like Verdelho and Shiraz, turning them into rich and flavourful wines with supreme drinkability and age-worthiness.

The aim of Faber Vineyard is to continue to make their mark on Swan Valley wine by creating wines with their signature house style.

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.
