Description

This is serious stuff here, single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, fermented and aged in a range of barrels, producing a well-regarded wine, with exceptional value.

Such a detailed wine, you can immediately see the thought and intention of the winemakers in this style, and the way they make it. Multi-layered and so engaging, there is citrus zip alongside sublime creaminess, spiciness, siting in harmony with tropical notes. So much going on, yet there is real harmony amongst all the elements, and layers.

If you only drink a few Sauvignon Blancs this year, this needs to be near the top of the pile.

These grapes were hand harvested on the 13th and 15th of March, and whole fruit pressed to retain finesse and texture. Fermentation was in old oak barrels (225 l) and Demi Muids (600litres, and 45 mm thick staves). Following fermentation, the wine stayed in these barrels for a further 11 months, with occasional stirring to suspend the lees. The wine from these barrels was blended in February of the following year, minimally fined, filtered and bottled. The wine was then allowed to relax in bottle for a further 15 months prior to being made available for sale.


96 Points - "The palate has a fine textural creaminess that massages the flavour into the mouth rather than asserting it. The characters of salted jalapeño, snow pea and cassis fold seamlessly into the saline acid line. An incredibly elegant and seamless wine - the attention to detail is evident. Very long." Erin Larkin (Halliday Wine Companion)

92 Points - "Gooseberry, thistle and jalapeño, spice, passion fruit skin. Golden. Tangy. Pineapple and zesty, but smooth rather than sharp, with a fine dusty milk powder texture, quince, and a ripe grapefruity crunch to a finish of good length.." Gary Walsh (Wine Front)

95 Points - "Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, fermented in used barrels and demi muids, matured for 11 months. A very expressive floral bouquet, with tropical and savoury nuances, the two strands playing off against each other on the long, complex palate. Easy to forget what the variety is, but not its sense of place." - James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
