Description

It's rare to see an Aussie Sylvaner, and even rarer to see one this good, so the Rivulet Sylvie is definitely something to be excited about.

Made with two parcels of Sylvaner, one fermented on skins for 5 days and the other for 21 days, it's the kind of wine you might expect to see from the Jura region in France (only with a little more freshness here). The use of 20% new oak, a range of barrel sizes and lees ageing has created a wine with lots of tang and zing while having a silky, almost full-bodied palate of complex fruit flavours.

A terrific wine at a great price with heaps of personality.

Through the river and the forest, on her way to the sun. Sylvie is an old latin name for the spirit of the forest and also the name of our youngest and cheekiest winery assistant.


100% Sylvaner grown at Elsewhere Vineyard in the Huon Valley. Handpicked on 28 April 2021 and fermented with wild yeast, with a parcel on skins for 5 days and the remaining fruit fermented on skins for 21 days. Pressed to a mix of French oak barriques and puncheons with 20% new oak. Six months on lees in oak with no stirring. Total production 1554 bottles.

93 Points - "100% Sylvaner from the Elsewhere vineyard. It sees quite a bit of skin contact before going into oak, some of which is new.

"It was hard not to just hook straight into this. It’s so textural, so fresh, so zippy and yet so complex. It’s smoky, dry, slightly coffeed, driven by stonefruit and thoroughly engaging at every turn. It then finishes with a confident burst, especially once it’s had time to breathe. It’s very good." 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.
