Description

Some interesting explorations for ex-Coriole winemaker Alex Sherrah in his solo venture.

This is a new look McLaren Vale white blend that combines Fiano with Chenin Blanc. It's a wine dialled into floral territory. Taking the best structural aspects of both varieties and creating something that is crunchy and textural making it perfect for matching with many dishes.

As Alex describes it "Chenin brings crisp lemon and green pear freshness. Fiano adds texture and a lingering mouth-watering acidity that leaves you wanting more. Dare you not to crack another bottle."

If you are looking for more interesting whites to fill that 'classic dry white' spot in your rotation, this will do the job very nicely.

Two thirds Fiano, one third Chenin Blanc. Fiano comes from the Lacey vineyard in the Tatachilla sub region of southern McLaren Vale. Only a few kilometres from the sea and almost at sea level, it is a cool maritime influenced area of the Vale. Sandy loam over a limestone base, scattered with ironstone fragments. – Chenin comes from the Willamba vineyard in the Blewitt Springs region of McLaren Vale. One of the highest areas of the Vale and about 15km inland. Very mild climate and gully breezes. Deep rich sand and loam mix over a clay base. Grapes were hand and machine harvested, fermented separately, a portion of Fiano was fermented on skins until dry in a small open fermenter, and then matured in a seasoned French barrique. The rest of the Fiano and Chenin fermented separately in stainless steel, using a combination of natural and mixed culture yeasts. No fining, minimal filtration.

93 Points - "A 64/36% blend. The fiano was split into two batches: the first was hand-picked, destemmed and open-fermented to dryness on skins, then pressed to used hogsheads, the balance Selectiv'-harvested, chilled and then to main press. The chenin is treated similarly, although slightly cleaner juice is fermented with a flavour-enhancing yeast. All combined post-ferment, the result is a wine of true flavour and texture complexity." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

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.
