Grab this limited pack while you can and experience for yourself why Yangarra is not only one of our favourite producers, but one of Australia's wine treasures.
2022 Yangarra Ovitelli Blanc
A decade ago Yangarra had the foresight to import most of the remaining permitted Chateauneuf du Pape grape varieties (there are 13 in total) missing from their Rhone-inspired McLaren Vale vineyard. This Ovitelli Blanc is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Grenache Gris, Bourboulenc and Clairette, and wondefully displays the suitability of these varieties to McLaren Vale.
Around 60% of the fruit sees time on skins (for on average 120 days), with the majority fermented in ceramic egg, before finally blended and matured back in egg again. The result is a stunningly textural white wine; flavourful, dry, filled with notes of pears, apples and lemon awash with sea spray.
It's a wine filled with personality and interest, and yet another pioneering cuvee from this innovative winemaking team.
2022 Yangarra Roux Beaute Roussanne
Vintage after vintage, Yangarra has set the McLaren Vale benchmark with their standard estate offering - but it's with small batches like this Roussanne that they really take things up a notch.
Welcome to the 'Roux Beaute'. Made in two 675L ceramic eggs, one fermented on its skins for a mammoth 120 days, this just oozes texture. It's luscious, powerful and complex whilst still maintaining phenomenal balance and freshness.
No one in the country is pushing the boundaries of this variety like Peter Fraser and his team, and with truly stunning results.
2022 Yangarra Ovitelli Grenache
A Grenache of remarkable purity and energy here from the team at Yangarra, and simply put one of our favourite Australian wines.
To create the Ovitelli Grenache, a selection of the best fruit from the old Grenache vines that populate the 80-year-old Yangarra vineyard is carefully berry sorted, then sent to ceramic egg to ferment naturally and left to rest on skins for 170 days thereafter.
This is an ethereal Grenache, a nervy and tightly coiled rendition of the variety, which speaks eloquently and beautifully of its home.
It's a truly wonderful example of McLaren Vale Grenache, which is stunning now but will also evolve gracefully with time in bottle.
2022 Yangarra King's Wood Shiraz
The King's Wood is one of the premium, small-batch releases in the excellent Yangarra portfolio, and has long been one of McLaren Vale's better Shiraz.
This comes from a small southeast-facing sandy ironstone outcrop on rhe Yangarra vineyard. 15% whole bunches used in the ferment, the fruit hand-picked and carefully double-sorted for quality control before being hand-plunged and left to rest in a huge oak cask before bottling. Oak is well and truly in the background here, a mere player in the overall symphony of this spectacular wine.
It's a lifted, elegant, Northern-Rhone inspired Shiraz, with layers of black and blue fruits, grilled meats and savoury spice. Winemaker Peter Fraser and team highlighting the quality and vibrancy of their fruit as the hero in this wine.
Poised, polished and powerful, it's a beautiful wine and a pristine example of McLaren Vale Shiraz.

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.

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.
