2024 Bondar Rose
Carefully crafting a spot on rose can be a tricky business. It may seem simple from the outside but there are a lot of decisions to be made along the way.
Take this fantastic rose from McLaren Vale outfit, Bondar. The fruit is picked from three sites, including from their famous home block, the Rayner vineyard. Two of the batches were fermented in ceramic egg, the third in barrel with some more pressings to get a little extra grip and "stuffing" in the mid-palate.
Suffice to say, Andre has nailed this release.
Theirs is a wildly successful crack at the very popular "Provence" inspired style of rose. If you like your pinks dry but full flavoured with delicacy and deliciousness in equal proportion - you're going to love this!
2024 Varney Wines Entrada Grenache Rose
Crisp, crunchy Rose made in a tight, dry style is all the rage in McLaren Vale at the moment.
Winemakers like Alan Varney are taking cues from Provence and utilising the great Grenache resources of the region to produce a more serious style of pink.
It's light, fruity yet has terrific acidity which makes it perfect for matching with seafood and warm spring days.
It's a classic no-brainer dry and savoury Rose that you could drink all afternoon long.

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 Turkey Flat Rose
The Turkey Flat Rosé has been one of the front-runners of Australia's Rosé revolution over the last decade or so and the 2024 vintage is the 30th release of this hugely popular wine.
The fruit for this wine is grown and picked specifically for Rosé. It's crafted by Mark Bulman, a winemaker with a great love of Grenache and a thirst for the pale, dry Rosé wines made in the South of France.
It's light, pale, dry as a bone and an absolute steal in the context of serious Australian Rosé. On the palate you can expect pink lady apples, white peach, raspberry, and floral citrus with lively turkish delight and musk adding depth and spice.
At this price, you can, and probably should, drink a bucket load (responsibly), whatever the weather....

"It's good to have constants in your life, that you can rely on. Turkey Flat Rosé is one of those constants. Consistently delicious year in, year out. Such a pretty Provençal salmon in the glass with aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and small red berries along with hints of purple flowers, dried citrus rind, orange blossom, light spice, crushed stone and red apple pastries. Crisp, just a little texture and perfect for many occasions, it's just a ripper of a wine."
- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)
2023 Nick Spencer Gundagai Rose
Another drinking delight here from Nick Spencer.
This Rose release is centred on quality Grenache from the Hilltops region, with some Chardonnay adding some verve and structure.
It's light, fluffy, and crunchy - all the things you want in modern Rose. Made in a bone dry style, this would not go amiss with some smoked ocean trout.
"For those who have been following our journey you will be well aware of our love affair with Rose and our commitment crafting the absolute best."
- Nick Spencer

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.
