About The Wine
Roussanne can be a difficult variety to get right on its own.
The variety is often used as a blending component, however the best Roussannes are full of weight, ripe fruit and great power.
Here the Shadowfax team has pulled one out of the bag. This is Roussanne allowed some time on skins, sent to barrel and left to develop texture and weight from time on lees.
If you're looking to see this variety strut its stuff solo, this is a great value place to start.
About Shadowfax
Alister Timms is the man directing the winemaking show at Shadowfax wines in Werribee, VIC.
He combines excellent estate grown fruit from their Werribee and Macedon Ranges vineyards with some fruit from good growers in regions such as the Barossa Valley and Geelong to create an eclectic array of high-class wines.
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is their main focus, but the quality from the rarely seen Mondeuse to Barossa Shiraz is uniformly excellent.

Critic Reviews
"Very savoury, all nuts and oatmeal, toast and halva, nougat and honey-laced-apples. Bouquet and palate. Has a richness, indeed this is at the fuller, bolder end of the white wine personality zone, but the gist is great, it drinks a charm, refreshment is there, texture holier than thou. Think nuts and ginger, ripe lemons and bitter green apple. Absolutely love this. Complex, personality dense wine of high drinkability. Bring it on." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. 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).
