We pick it when it tastes great, press it to barrel and leave the rest to the wine to make its own direction.

About The Wine
Franco d'Anna has added a new string to his bow here, with a delightful new Blanc de Blanc bubbly!
It's made from near-on 100% Pinot Blanc (with a splash of Chardonnay) - the only 'Blanc de Blancs' of its kind in the country. It comes from a low-yielding block on the Hoddles Creek estate, with 4 months on lees and a further 20 months in barrel adding texture and weight to what is strikingly pure and refreshing fruit.
Gary Walsh awarded 93 points to what is just a unique, delicious bubbly that is, as always with Hoddles Creek, superb value for money.
About Hoddles Creek Estate
Hoddles Creek lay a serious claim to being one of the best value producers in Australia. Led by the extremely hardworking winemaking guru Franco D’Anna, Hoddles craft wonderful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in particular that seriously overdeliver at all price-points.
The wines are all crafted from fruit grown on their family owned vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley. A must try for Yarra Valley fans and bargain hunters alike!

Critic Reviews
"Interesting style and flavour, but a good one. It’s dry and briny, pear and almond in flavour, fine bubbles, good expansion through the mouth, and a long dry finish, almost with a little spice, but certainly saline. Impressive. Drinks beautifully." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
