2023 Sassafras Gamburra White Ancestral Sparkling
Few producers pushing the Pet-Nat envelope as far as Paul Starr at Sassafras in the Canberra district.
He never sits still, constantly refining his take on the ancient sparkling technique. And the results are seriously impressive.
This Sassafras release is one of his best to date.
Hands down one of the leading producers in this wine style for Australia - if you'd like to try some 'serious' Pet-Nat, then the offerings from Sassafras are an excellent place to kick off.
2024 Mercer Wines PF Fizz
The 2024 PF Fizz from Mercer Wines is everything you’d want in a preservative-free sparkling. Made by Aaron Mercer, a winemaker known for his skill in natural winemaking, this sparkling Chardonnay is fresh, lively, and straight-up delicious without any additives.
With crisp flavours of nashi pear, green apple, and a touch of lemon, it’s got a lovely finesse and a hint of hazelnut that rounds things out. The bubbles are fine, the finish is clean, and it’s all perfectly balanced for easy drinking.
Sustainably made with regenerative practices across NSW vineyards, Mercer Wines keeps the focus on quality. For under $30, the PF Fizz is a rare find—a great go-to sparkling for any occasion, whether it’s brunch, dinner, or just a casual catch-up. No preservatives, just great, pure flavour.
2023 Wildman Astro Bunny Pet-Nat
The Astro Bunny is a playful Pet-Nat by the hands of Tim Wildman, MW.
This is an all sorts blend of Arneis, Nero d'Avola and Fiano, from various vineyards across Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale.
Tim is emphatic that wine should fall into one of two categories: fun or fine. This wine sits firmly in the former category.
Astro Bunny is fun and fizzy, a little funky and positively loaded with personality. It's a spritzy wine that will charm any fan of this hugely popular wine style.
2024 Delinquente Tuff Nutt Pet Nat
Crisp and crunchy Pet-Nats are booming in popularity across Australia. And when you can find thirst-quenching, chuggable wines like this at these kinds of prices, it's not hard to see why.
This is made from one of the only plantings of Bianco d'Alessano outside of its home in the Apulia region of southern Italy. The Proud family at Sherwood Estate in Loxton North seems like an ideal place for this variety to thrive as it's warm and dry just like its homeland.
The exotic perfume and wildness of this variety make it an ideal candidate for this light-fizz wine style. It's vibrant and bouncy and excellent value for money.

"It's thirst-slaking stuff with more Granny Smith and buckets of salinity splayed out. Some white florals play a supporting part, too. Texturally, it’s a seductive fizz with plenty of intrigue. Thrill seekers, this is a wine for you and flint-seeking pals on your next sunny picnic."
- Katrina Butler (Halliday Wine Companion)
2023 Unico Zelo Sea Foam Pet Nat
The Unico Zelo Pet Nat has been a fan-fave of ours since it's first release. And of course it just had to come from Fiano, the variety Brendan and Laura Carter have so passionately championed for many years.
Introducing 'Sea Foam'! It has all the ripe stone fruits and tropical fruits that the variety naturally possesses, with a savoury, saltiness on close balancing things nicely. Throw in some nice fizz and we've got a real party starter!
Another fun and fascinating drink from Unico Zelo and, as always, unbeatable value for money.
2023 Gilbert Pet Nat Riesling
Will Gilbert continues his exploration of Petillant Naturel here with a fresh bottling of naturally fermenting Riesling from Orange.
He's got a great eye for the style.
This is zippy and zingy, loaded with juicy citrus flavours and delightfully cloudy to boot.
If you are loving the wave of delicious Pet Nats exploding across Australia, then Will's should definitely be on your hit list.

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.
