Description

The Mrs Payten Chardonnay is one of Swinging Bridges most sought after wines, as well as being a personal favourite of theirs.

Tom Ward loves to show off the potential of the Orange regions ability to produce stellar wines, and this Chardy does just that. It's a display of the high quality cool-climate fruit grown in the region, coming together in a smooth and fine drop that gives off peachiness, minerality and mouth-watering citrus.

It's one that will keep you reaching for a top-up.

Mrs Payten has fruit sourced from the reknowned 'Caldwell Lane' and 'Hill Park' Vineyard, which both sit at 900 metres. The resulting wine has an alluring nose of green apple & white peach. On the palate it is smooth and medium-bodied with subtle citrus flavours and a fine acid line carrying the finish long.

92 Points - "Light to mid-yellow colour and a spicy bouquet that reflects some smart oak maturation. The wine is very lively in the mouth with bright and slightly shrill acidity. Lots of lemon flavour here, good intensity and vivacious fruit-and-acid interplay. Long carry. An appetising and moreish chardonnay." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

93 Points - "The fruit for the 2021 Mrs Payten is picked from blocks within the Hill Park and Caldwell Lane Vineyards. Chilled for 36 hours and whole-bunch pressed. The wine consistency shows off the elegance of the cool-climate Orange region. Pomelo segments, elderflower, white peach and a whiff of chalkboard dust. The wine whisks through the palate with energy, and a freshness of lemonade on a hot day. A fine pithy texture followed by a creamy yoghurt and almond milk quality. This wine always over delivers for its price, year after year." - Shanteh Wale (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.
