Description

Blanc de Blancs, literally "white from whites," is a style of sparkling made entirely from - you guessed it! - white varieties, typically Chardonnay.

This wine spent a total of six years on lees and in bottle before release, ensuring that it is ready to be drunk.

Fruit was sourced from a single vineyard in Piper's River and captures all that is good about Tassie sparkling wine. Fresh baked bread and stone fruits come through on the nose, with some custard and baking spices. The palate is filled out by grapefruit, tart cranberry and a gorgeous texture and acid balance. Amazing wine, through and through.

Celebrating purity and longevity. 100% Chardonnay from the 2016 vintage. Abounding with generous pineapple, golden delicious apple, fresh fig and preserved lemon. Six years has blessed it with bountiful brushstrokes of brioche, vanilla custard and even a hint of nutmeg. Texturally it is a marvel, at once creamy and silky, yet simultaneously taut, determined and enduring. Enticing now, it has places to go over the coming decade, too.

This Blanc de Blancs singly transcends Natalie Fryar’s moniker of Australia’s sparkling rosé queen, unequivocally and emphatically confirming her place as Australia’s sparkling queen.

95 Points - "100% chardonnay from a single vineyard in Pipers River. Fermented in four 8-20yo barrels, full mlf and aged 5.5 years on lees; 4.1g/L dosage. Pipers River chardonnay has a personality all of its own, contrasting the tension of cold winds whipping across from Bass Strait, with a generosity of fruit and body. Natalie Fryar plays the creamy texture of barrel fermentation and lees age to seamlessly marry the two. Pineapple, fig and grapefruit meet the subtle beginnings of brioche and vanilla nougat. There's an inherent phenolic grip to this season, well embraced here by silky texture on a lingering finish." - Tyson Stelzer (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.
