Description

The Jericho Wines The Chase Shiraz is described by the winery as not being "shy" about its McLaren Vale roots, and we have to agree.

Showing a combination of red and blue fruits on first whiff, the freshness of the bouquet is evident. These fruity tones are balanced by spice and savoury tones – black pepper, meatiness, tobacco, clove – as well as some violet florals. Aged for 12 months in 30% new and 70% seasoned French oak, the cedar notes complement the fruit and add to the grippy tannins.

While it's looking lovely right now, you can enjoy The Chase Shiraz with a few more years of cellaring.

Crushed straight to an open fermenter, this wine spends just over a week fermenting on skins, the ideal amount of time to extract the perfect amount of grippy yet fine tannin to complement the oak programme. Aged for 12 months in 30% new French barriques, and 70% seasoned oak, the delicate oak spice is subtle and complementary, never overpowering the fruit.


This steep southern facing site gives this vineyard a cooler and slower ripening aspect. Shallow black soils, single cordon and low cropping levels of 2 tonne per acre, ensures the vines are well balanced. The resulting fruit has intense varietal and complex fruit flavours.

93 Points - "From a single vineyard in the Seaview subregion. South facing and steep in the regional context. This is contemporary Australian shiraz epitomised. Ripe, with tension imparted by a clutch of reduction and savoury signatures of dried wakame, lilac and oodles of blue fruits. Anise, pepper grind and clove douse the forceful finish. A little hot, but plenty delicious." - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)

94 Points - "The aim, according to the press notes, was for elegance but it’s a bit more brutish than that. It’s soft and smooth-skinned but there’s a big motor of fruit at play here. Blackberry, kirsch, raspberry and woodsy spice notes come clipped with sweet cedar wood. It offers a ball of rich fruit flavour and in that style it is 100% convincing." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

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.
