2024 Konpira Maru Mt Midoriyama Total Victory Pet Nat
The Pet Nat flood continues!
This latest offering from Alastair and Sam at Konpira Maru is fantastic and a freight-train of fun to drink.
This release features two varieties from the Chalmers vineyard in Heathcote combining here in a classic (*ahem) blend of 80% Sagrantino and 20% Vermentino. There are only really two rules when you make Pet Nat: make it fizzy and make it delightful to drink. The boys have nailed it on both accounts.
It's not a profoundly complex wine but it will absolutely get you coming back for more.
2023 BK Wines Petillant Naturel Chardonnay
Brendan Keys isn't afraid to do things differently, and this Pet-Nat made from 100% Basket Range Chardonnay fruit, wild yeasts and 100% concrete-egg fermentation is certainly different!
Pet-Nats are perfect for unabashed drinking on a warm afternoon, and this one goes down particularly easy.
Don't be deceived by its cloudy exterior, this is bright, flavour-packed and fun to drink whether, in BK's words, "be it for a mid-morning brunch, a barbecue at dusk or a digestif at o’ dark thirty."
One of Australia's first Pet Nats and still one of the best!
2024 Dr. Ongo Pet Nat
He's played around with the Pet-Nat style for a few years now, Peter Dredge, but he thinks he's onto a winning formula here.
This is mostly saignee Pinot Noir from his Tasmania Pinot Noir. Not happy with the chunky, chewy bits so often found in the bottom of other Pet-Nats, Dredge has disgorged each of these bottles and topped them with still fermenting Riesling juice to create a fresh and fizzy drink just ready for guzzling.
Dredge only makes this wine in tiny quantities. If you want a crack at the hilariously named Dr. Ongo, you'll need to be quick.
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.
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.

Please don't ever hesitate - we would love to help! Whether it's a problem we can fix, a wine you're not 100% sure on or if you simply want to talk about wine, food and the meaning of life, we are here for you.
