About

About The Wine

This is a lively Sauvignon Blanc that comes at you head on.

Simon Killeen takes every precaution to keep his much-loved "Savvy-Boo" as bright and as clean as possible. Pressed early and gently, the wine is crystal clear as it runs to the tank. A small portion goes to barrel before being blended back into the wine for some added mid-palate flesh and succulence.

It's chilled and kept on lock-down until it's gently fined before going to bottle. The desired end result is Sauvignon Blanc which is fresh and crisp with a little more to it than meets the eye.

Simon nails the style, it's excellent drinking.

Critic Reviews

DDS review

Fresh cut pineapple, passionfruit, guava with a juicy fruit flavour rush. The acid is tight and clear, the flavour runs long and deep. It's a Sauvignon Blanc with some fruit power and it's uber refreshing. A glass on the lawn with fresh cooked fish and chips would be just the ticket. - Different Drop Wine team

Halliday Wine Companion

"It has the right amount of enticing aromas some passionfruit, lemon blossom and that intriguing alpine pine needle character. Plenty of zest appeal with its juicy, citrussy palate, refreshing with some complex pith-like texture." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

FaQs

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).
