About the Wine
Are you getting a bit tired of Riesling? Does your Semillon lack sizzle? If you want to try something new, give Chenin Blanc whirl! It's a bright and fresh variety which can give any aromatic white a run for its money.
This is made in McLaren Vale, a long way from its Loire Valley home, but it thrives in the heat and produces slightly riper flavours. Some time in older oak has tamed the variety's natural acid, giving a soft and gentle texture, but it still bursts with an avalanche of lemons, green apples and a fistful of white flowers. There's a lot going on here, especially at this price.

From the Producer
Chenin Blanc is grown on 30 year old vines at the Willamba vineyard in the Blewitt Springs region of McLaren Vale. One of the highest areas of the Vale and about 15km inland. Very mild climate and gully breezes. Deep rich sand and loam mix over a clay base. Grapes were machine harvested in the cool before dawn, and then left briefly on skins, 12 hours, before pressing to a stainless steel tank for fermentation with a light amount of solids. Pressings were wild fermented in seasoned oak. The finished wine was stored on lees in seasoned oak for 4 months prior to bottling. No acid additions.

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.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
