2024 Bondar Rose
Andre Bondar is one of the best makers of Rose in Australia. There. We Said it.
And the 2024 is absolutely on point yet again. A blend of Grenache (91%), Cinsault (4%), and Mataro (2%), this rosé is all about freshness, delicacy, and drinkability, perfectly capturing the breezy charm of their coastal home.
Most of the Grenache comes from younger vines grown in Blewitt Springs, fermented in tank to preserve its bright, primary fruit character. Meanwhile, a portion of 50-year-old Grenache from the sandy Rayner Vineyard saw time in old oak, adding texture and depth. A touch of Cinsault and Mataro lends further aromatic lift and structure.
Pale and dry, this rosé offers delicate aromas of red berries, watermelon, and a hint of citrus. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with juicy fruit flavours balanced by a clean, savoury finish. It’s the kind of wine you’ll want to pour all summer long (and we have!).
Designed for immediate enjoyment, the 2024 Bondar Rosé is peak Aussie rose that showcases everything we love about McLaren Vale.

"A shimmering rose gold in hue, this continues the impeccable lineage of this wine, with flavours of cranberry, watermelon, tart redcurrant, subtle pink grapefruit and musk. As always, those flavours are suggestive, melding into each other, eschewing obviousness for refinement and effortless class. This is properly dry, with a gentle tug of savoury grip, set against a core of succulent fruit purity and finely tuned texture. Superb."
- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)
2023 Unico Zelo Origami Rose
Simply put, the Unico Zelo wines are absurdly drinkable, great-value wines, crafted seemingly with no preconceptions or restrictions. They are iconoclasts who have a blast.
This Rose is a blend of Riverland Grenache, Sangiovese & Dolcetto.
Flavoursome and succulent, with a touch of colour, this is a crunchy dry style with lots of floral aromatics, some strawberry/ raspberry fruit and a vivid acid-driven finish.
Time to bring some Origami into your fold.
2023 Vinden Headcase Rose
Here's an excellent rose from young Angus Vinden in the Hunter Valley, known for his innovative approach to Hunter Valley classics.
Crafted from a blend of Tempranillo, Semillon, Shiraz, and Gewurztraminer, this rose is a result of ten different ferments. Named after the Brian Eno song "Spinning Away," it’s fermented in stainless steel, neutral oak, and concrete tanks. The wine sees some malolactic fermentation to build weight and complexity, resulting in a dry, textural Rosé with a bit of an x-factor from Chardonnay lees.
On the nose, it offers complex aromatics with bright citrus and spicy notes. The palate is vibrant with juicy red fruits, a touch of spice, and racy acidity. The fresh, dry style makes it perfect for modern Rosé lovers.
This Rosé is ideal for immediate enjoyment but also has the structure to age gracefully. Enjoy on its own or paired with light dishes.
2024 Dominique Portet Fontaine Rose
Who better to make an Australian interpretation of Provence styled rose than a Frenchman who has worked in Provence?
The Portet family were one of the pioneers of this modern, dry, savoury style of rose and this is one of their best releases to date.
Made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz - this is a deceptively textural style of rose given that it never sees a wooden barrel. It's dry, crisp and ludicrously easy to drink.
This is consistently one of the great bargains of Australian Rose.
2024 Spinifex Rose
The 2024 Spinifex Rosé is yet another benchmark release from Pete Schell, a winemaker who treats rosé with the same precision and intention as his finest reds. This Provençal-inspired beauty blends Grenache (62%) and Mataro (38%) from four dry-grown sites across Angaston, Ebenezer, Vine Vale, and Bethany in the Barossa, with vines ranging from 25 to 90 years old.
Each parcel was treated with care, spending two to six hours on skins before being gently pressed to tank for fermentation. A small portion underwent malolactic fermentation, and the wine matured on lees in tank for six months, building texture and complexity while retaining its vibrant, refreshing character.
The result is a rosé that’s full of energy and finesse. Expect notes of wild strawberries, pink grapefruit, and a subtle savoury herb edge. The palate is bright and crisp, with crunchy acidity, a silky texture, and a clean, dry finish that makes it impossible to resist another sip.
A standout example of Australian rosé that channels the elegance of Provence while showcasing the depth and character of Barossa fruit. Perfect for long lunches, alfresco dinners, or simply when you want a wine that’s as serious as it is easy to love.
2023 Torzi Matthews Mystic Park Rose
Dom Torzi has such a deft touch with his winemaking, especially when it comes to Italian varieties.
Here he coaxes a subtle, savoury Rose/Rosato out of the Sangiovese grape. It's pale, dry, driven towards a more food-friendly style (how Italian!) and gee it drinks beautifully for the price asked.

"Nice wine here, and I reckon it will be better again by the end of summer."

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.
