About The Wine
Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc can be made in a wide array of styles - from super-lean, crisp and crunchy, to bigger styles that emphasize a richer mouthfeel.
This wine from young Danish winemaker Uffe Deichmann, falls at the bigger, richer end of the spectrum.
Barrel ferment plays a huge roll in the finished wine. It's all creamy, luscious ripe passionfruit and pineapple with crisp acidity, keeping the finish tidy and clean.
A lovely style of Sauvignon Blanc for those who want a bit more oomph in their whites. Irresistible indeed.
About Poppelvej
Poppelvej (pronounced 'Pop-ell-veye') is a pint-sized winery based in McLaren Vale started by young Danish sommelier-turned-winemaker, Uffe Deichmann with the help of his brother Jens.
The name Poppelvej translates to "the street of the poplar trees", a homage to the family home property of the same name.
Uffe now has a small, ramshackle winery dug into in the side of a hill in McLaren Vale. He produces tiny amounts of wine with a minimal intervention philosophy.
Low amounts of sulphur (but always some) are used, the ferments are all wild. Massive black concrete eggs and an array of oak vessels in varying sizes are used as fermenters. It's a small but love-filled operation he is running.

Critic Reviews
"Tangy number but seems to mitigate the urge of the variety to go turbo green and indeed there’s light, creamy nougat notes in the mix and licks of pleasing fruitiness. Still, passionfruit, green herbs, but more going on and a good, skittish mix of acidity and fine chalky tannins. Lovely." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
