Description

Remi Guise grew up in South Africa before moving to the Margaret River in 2007, so perhaps it comes as no surprise that stunning and serious expressions of Chenin Blanc.

The Kroos (meaning 'seed' in Afrikaans) is a new release from Remi, made from a blend of hand-picked fruit from two vineyards in Karridale and Wilyabrup. It was pressed straight to French oak and left there to do its thing - going through partial MLF, then left to sit for a further 9 months in barrel on lees.

Bright, lemony acidity is what greets you on first sip, followed by gingery spice and texture abound. Another great Chenin under the belt for Remi.

As a winemaker in Margaret River I have a responsibility to ensure that every bottle of wine that I put that name onto is of the highest quality, thus I live as a winemaker by one rule alone: I only make wines that I love to drink.

94 Points - "A new release for Remi Guise, the Kroos sees no skin time, unlike the Absolution chenins. Hand picked and whole-bunch pressed straight to barrel with full solids (bottled unfined). Matured for 9 months on lees sans bâtonnage. The vineyard canopy is managed differently as well – more leaves retained to minimise light throughout the season, impacting acidity and aromatics. As we have come to expect from Guise, the acidity is pronounced, and due to the oak, one must wait for the finish or aftertaste in order to experience the chenin spice and texture. This takes a long time, because the wine itself is very long. A thought-provoking wine indeed. I want to see this in 5 years." - Erin Larkin (Halliday Wine Companion)

93 Points - "It’s rich and textural, a feast! Shows with lemon-ginger tea, lemon barley sugar water, passionfruit, kiwi fruit and sea spray scents and flavours. Medium weight white wine, crunch and slurpy, slippery but with a briny, pumice stone minerally finish. I like it. A lot going on and done well in a white. Complex and compelling thing." - Mike Bennie (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.
