2023 Feudo Arancio Grillo
Known for crafting wines with clarity and charm, Feudo Arancio continues to raise the bar with this beautifully aromatic and refreshing Sicilian Grillo.
Sourced from sandy, sunlit vineyards in Acate, Ragusa, this 100% Grillo is vinified with precision. The grapes are harvested in mid-September, pressed and fermented under controlled conditions to preserve the fruit’s natural vibrancy. Maturation on lees for five months in stainless steel adds depth and texture, while maintaining the wine’s bright, lively profile.
It shows tropical aromas of mango and papaya, with floral hints of jasmine and orange blossom lifting from the glass. On the palate, it’s fresh and light-bodied, with juicy citrus and white florals balanced by a subtle minerality and delicate acidity. The finish is clean and moreish, making it hard to stop at just one glass.
Perfect for simply sipping in the sun, the 2023 Grillo is an easy-going crowd-pleaser that delivers fantastic value.
Top 20 Drinks of 2024
"I’m not quite sure how Feudo Arancio is able to produce this wine at this quality - or how it can end up on a bottle shop shelf on the other side of the world - for just 20 bucks. But I’m rather glad it can, and it does, because it’s one of the best value wines I tried all year. Enticing floral perfume, some sun-kissed golden fruit aromas, refreshingly crisp on the tongue, it’s the kind of white you want to have on standby for barbecues."

2024 Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown Pret A Blanc
If you are on the hunt for delightful, intriguing whites built for casual drinking; this should be right up on your hit-list.
The Pret-a-Blanc is the all-rounder in the VS&B range. Comprised of a magnificently fresh blend of Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and some seasoning from Sylvaner, careful blending and attention to detail has taken this textural, Alsatian-inspired blend to a wonderful place.
Whether it's accompanying food or flying solo, the Pret-a-Blanc is wine jam-packed with charisma that will suit all occasions.
2023 Domaine Fazi IGP Ile de Beaute Rose
A refined introduction to the distinctive, mineral-driven style of Corsican rosé.
Crafted from a blend of Nielluccio, Syrah, Grenache, and a touch of Sciaccarellu, this wine balances the island's hallmark tension and salinity with a hint of generosity from its international varieties. At just 12% alcohol, it’s lean and sophisticated, offering a bone-dry profile underpinned by granitic minerals and vibrant energy.
On the palate, expect a taut and refreshing experience with notes of pink grapefruit, watermelon, citrus rind, and delicate red fruits, complemented by a fine, peppery texture and a long, crisp finish. It’s both elegant and energetic, perfect for warm days or as an aperitif.
This is a must-try for fans of Mediterranean rosés who appreciate finesse, complexity, and a distinct sense of place.
2024 Hughes & Hughes Pinot Noir
As the demand for fruit in Tasmania increases, so too are the prices. The top value Pinot Noirs are becoming rare as hens' teeth, but here's one that you can fill your boots with if you want a stylish Tassie Pinot that won't bust the bank.
This is fruit from the Coal River, Derwent and Tamar Valleys fermented in small batches in a bunch of different ways. Some whole bunch, some whole berry, lots of experimenting from winemaker Jonathan Hughes to see what works, then finally a blend of the best parts.
It's a great drink and remarkable value, all things considered. There just aren't many Pinots at this price from the Apple Isle that will deliver the interest and satisfaction of the Hughes & Hughes.
2023 Unico Zelo Jungle Jungle Dolcetto
Unico Zelo’s Jungle Jungle is an irresistible red that celebrates Dolcetto’s lighter, juicy side while layering in unexpected depth and structure. This Clare Valley and Langhorne Creek blend showcases Brendan and Laura Carter’s knack for crafting approachable, vibrant wines perfectly suited to modern Australian tastes.
The fruit comes primarily from the Polish Hill River sub-region, with the addition of some stellar Langhorne Creek Dolcetto. These sites, rooted in shale and blue slate soils, bring a mix of bright, juicy blueberries and black cherry alongside earthy spice and herbal undertones. The winemaking is minimal intervention, letting the natural character of the fruit shine through while soft tannins provide the wine with a subtle framework.
On the palate, it’s a perfect balance of comfort and complexity. The plush fruit and aromatic lift make this a delightful match for casual dining, particularly dishes you can enjoy with your hands—think woodfired pizza or smoky BBQ. Pop it in the fridge for 20 minutes for extra freshness, and you’re in for a treat.
Jungle Jungle is quintessential Unico Zelo: thoughtful, fun, and deeply drinkable. A crowd-pleasing red with character to spare.
2023 Lambert Syrah
The Luke Lambert Syrah is always made with a deft touch.
Luke's choice of vineyard in the South-West of the Yarra Valley (some of the coolest terrain in the region) offers him the opportunity to make a wine of unique elegance and finesse.
The continued success of this wine has cemented Luke as one of the true winemaking craftsman of his generation. Luke uses whole bunches to beautiful effect, elevating Yarra Valley Syrah to a spicy, ethereal wine with a quiet confidence.
Once again, this release is beautifully balanced, refined and pure-fruited - all the hallmarks of Luke's signature Syrah style.
95 points
"Dark cherry and blue fruits, plenty of spice, black olive and grilled meat. It’s medium-bodied, spicy and perfumed, meaty too, with a surprisingly intense burst of ‘minerally’ acidity through its core. Tannin is all crushed rock and sooty goodness, and the finish is long and savoury and stalky. Very good."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
"Beautifully poised, cool expression of shiraz with concentrated but elegant dark cherry fruit and a subtle overlay of spice. A very good follow-up to the excellent 2022, which is drinking beautifully now."
- Max Allen

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.
