2023 Rieslingfreak No. 11 Mosaik Eden Valley Riesling
John Hughes, the mastermind behind Rieslingfreak, has a knack for pushing Riesling into exciting new territory. His No. 11 “Mosaik” Eden Valley Riesling is no exception, blending classic Eden Valley purity with a touch of creative flair.
For this release, Hughes aged pristine Eden Valley fruit in seasoned French oak barrels for a year, adding depth and texture without overshadowing the wine’s natural freshness. The result is a Riesling with beautiful layers of citrus zest, fresh pineapple, and a hint of salted nuts, all wrapped in a silky, creamy texture. The time in oak also brings subtle spice and structure, balancing the zippy acidity that Riesling lovers crave.
Whether you’re a diehard Riesling fan or just starting your exploration, the No. 11 is a brilliant wine. Pair it with fragrant Thai dishes, a creamy cheese board, or enjoy it on its own as a conversation starter.
This is an outrageously delicious and complex offering from John & Bellinda Hughes. It's exclusively available at Different Drop. Riesling lovers, you can't miss this.
2024 Dr. Edge Tasmania Riesling
The formidable powers of Riesling from all corners of Tasmania are put to good and fascinating use here. And, of course, it just wouldn't be a Dr. Edge wine without a little funk... And funk, it has...
It's an equal blend of Pete Dredge's North, South and East Rieslings, bottled unfiltered with some residual sugar.
A whopping nine months on lees and a little lazy time in some old barrels has put some weight on the skeletal Tassie Riesling frame. Yes, there are all the classic steel and citrus notes, but there's an extra layer of savouriness in this wine takes it to a transcendently weird level.
As always with the wines of the good Doctor, there aren't many bottles around. Grab one while you can.

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.
