Description

This delightful and great value amber wine is part of a trio of new wines, made with fruit from the Chalmers 'Mother Block'.

Vermentino, Ansonica, Falanghina and Pecorino find themselves as bed fellows here, and are all too happy to be alongside one another to form this fresh and crunchy wine.

Guzzle dial is turned right up, and a great wine to share over a meal.

Our ‘Mother Block' site at Chalmers Merbein Vineyard is at the heart of all that we do. As well as it being the location of our family home and business, this unique and diverse vineyard houses plantings of each variety that we've imported to Australia over the last 20 years. It is therefore, also the source block for supplying millions of vines planted across Australia through our vine nursery.

90 Points - "The 2022 Mother Block Skin Contact White is a blend of Vermentino (41%), Ansonica (19%), Pecorino (19%), Falanghina (14%), Moscato Giallo (5%) Grechetto (1%) and Nosiola (1%). The fruit was co-fermented and is a golden hazy yellow in the glass. On the nose, there are musk sticks, blood orange, citrus oil, beeswax, creamed honey, cold toast and a host of other textural, yellow fruit characters, loquat among them. The palate follows suit and rolls over the tongue in the pillowy way that skin contact white wine can do. The texture from the skin tempers the purity of acidity, but the length of flavor through the finish remains untouched. Very good, lovely wine. Kudos for procuring the out-of-the-way varieties." - Erin Larkin (Robert Parker Wine Advocate)

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.
