About the Wine
This has to be one of the most interesting Aussie Sauvignon Blancs out there.
Deliciously juicy fruit was hand picked from Brown Brook Estate vineyard in the Yarra, and was pressed to tank straight away to retain all that freshness. It went through full malo, and aged on its lees for almost a full year.
It comes out as a dream of tropical fruit, soft herbal notes and a slight nuttiness, with savoury saline characters and a cutting acidity keeping it all in check.
About Save Our Souls
Save Our Souls is a collaboration between two friends, Jason Searle and Bill Downie, who met many years ago in the vines of Bass Phillip.
Beginning in 2008, the foundation of Save Our Souls is great quality wine, hard work and a good laugh in good company. They make interesting and affordable wines intended as every day drinking wines, ready to be shared with friends.
They source their fruit from all over Victoria and are passionate about creating wines that express the place they come from.

From the Producer
The fruit was hand harvested, it was immediately pressed into tank and chilled for 48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation occurred naturally and was followed by full malolactic conversion. The finished wine stayed in tank on gross lees for 11 months.
Pristine in appearance with a bright straw colour. Quite a classic SB varietal nose of passionfruit and with a sense of malo. The textured palate shows more passionfruit, kiwi fruit, gooseberries, fresh soft herbs and hazelnuts, finishing with juicy acidity.

Critic Reviews
"Savoury scents, a bit of sea spray, a bit of preserved lemon, ginger, dried apple. It tastes spicier than it smells, almost tactile, with a really smooth roll of gingery, lemony, appley flavour going through. It’s settled really nicely into its skin. Almost a fume style, but too briny for that, in a good way. Lovely." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
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).
