About The Wine
Here is a serious style of Chardonnay from Craggy Range.
The warm sunny Te Awanga Vineyard near Cape Kidnappers is perfect for making a bolder style of Chardonnay.
The winemaking here is generally pretty stripped back allowing the fruit to shine. It's big in flavour but beautifully balanced.
An excellent rendition of the variety from this marquee Hawke's Bay producer.
About Craggy Range

With vineyards in both the famed alluvial soils in the Gimblett Gravels sub-region of Hawkes Bay and in the premium Pinot Noir-growing region of Martinborough, Craggy Range has set a high bar for quality wine production since 1994.
There is no expense spared in the Peabody family's pursuit of vinous excellence.
With the winery being committed to a 1000 year family trust by founder Terry Peabody, the legacy of this great producer is sure to continue for many generations to come.

Critic Reviews
"Richness of fruit is there, white peach and melon, white flowers, but with a coolness and calm composure. Oak is barely there, and there’s a lovely almond flavour and texture, a little green olive, tight acidity, perhaps some ripe lemon in the mix too. Some flint and firmness, and a particularly good finish, flavour and chalk and citrus zest. It’s a beautiful wine." - Gary Walsh (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).
