Description

Semillon has a long, proud history in the Barossa, and this wine from Laughing Jack is here to wave that flag proudly.

Bright aromas of citrus draw you in at first pour, followed by a silky, refreshing flavour boasting a driving force of natural acidity. The use of 51% Old Vine Semillon fruit adds to the ripe flavours, giving a more rounded look at this classic variety.

If you like a crisp, crunchy and dry white, give this a whirl - your tastebuds (and bank account) will thank you for it!

Semillon is Barossa Valley's most suited white grape variety in our opinion. This Semillon was produced from our old vine vineyard planted to clone 143 an early ripening and a shy bearer only producing a small number of tiny bunches per vine.

The Old Vine Semillon was hand-picked and the Creek Block machine picked same day. Once harvested, the grapes were whole bunch pressed to a stainless tank for fermentation. The vessels were kept at 14 degrees for 4 weeks to complete fermentation. After fermentation, leaving very little sugars, this wine is a dry style and kept clean and crisp.

93 Points - "Lime, green pear, lemon verbena and lemongrass. It's crunchy, tight and energetic, a light chalky texture, a pleasant quinine-like bitterness, and a crisp long finish of excellent length. Excellent expression of Barossa Sem, which should develop very nicely with further bottle age. Has something of an Italianate feel too, which I really like." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

91 Points - "100% western Barossa semillon from the subregion of Greenock, fermented and kept in tank on lees for 4 weeks before bottling. Pale straw in the glass with aromas of crisp green apple, lemon and grapefruit with notes of fennel, marzipan, white flowers and stone. Some creamy notes on the palate finishing crisp and dry with impressive clarity and drive." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

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.
