Description

If you've ever tried his Barossa Valley label, Woods Crampton, you'll know Nicholas Crampton knows how to get top value to the customer.

This is one of the best value Loire Valley reds you'll see on Australian shores.

Cabernet Franc is most likely the trendiest Bordeaux variety at the moment, with wine bars across the country looking for juicy, approachable versions to populate their wine lists. This new offering from Crampton is sure to find its way onto many of them.

It's Loire Cab Franc in silky, brightly-fruited mode. It's juicy, shows all the signature leafy notes and ripe purple berries and currants. The perfect easy-drinking mid-week red that will give you a touch of French charm.

Cabernet Franc is one of the historical varieties of the Loire Valley (along with Gamay) and is traditionally used to structure other wine varieties (particularly in Bordeaux) and bring more freshness into it. Our Cabernet Franc is surprisingly deep in colour yet still bright and clear. The nose is delicate with red ripe berries underpinned by some sweet pepper nuances so typical of Cabernet Franc. Very fresh in the mouth with an elegant fruit profile and soft tannins that add elegance and structure. Pair with a piece of barbecued fish with salsa verde.

    Have you met Franc

    Once you have, you're hooked. A Cabernet for Neb, Pinot and Nerrello Mascalese lovers. Light and lifted, with peppers, cherry and pencil shaving perfumes. Palate has bright fruit, fine tannins with acid balance. Softer and more approachable than sister Sauvignon. A slurpable and affordable ripper for any occasion. What're you waiting for!

    Value +++

    Frankly ridiculous value. Nails the brief. Well-balanced, easy drinking but seriously good. Buy a case.

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.
