Description

If you look at the slew of incredible reviews around this small Yarra Valley producer, one word pops up in almost every single one. Value.

From their elite 1er and Hoddles Creek Estate labels through to their Wickhams Road range, not an ounce of quality is compromised at any tier. For the money, all the wines punch well and truly above their weight.

Their Wickhams Road Yarra Valley Chardonnay is a beautiful example of what they are about. Clean, elegant and precise wines that make people ask, "How much did you pay for this?!"

This is consistently one of the country's most excellent Chardonnays in its price range and this year is no different. Case buy kind of deal, for sure.

Made with the same exacting standards as our own estate grown Chardonnay, this Wickhams Rd Chardonnay is forward, lively and balanced. Sourced from vineyards in Upper Yarra, namely Maccesfield and Woori Yallock. The Woori Yallock component gives some mid palate weight, whilst the Maccesfield provides finesse and the long acid drive.

96 Points - "From the Woori Yallock district in Upper Yarra Valley. It sidles up to you, and it's only on the 2nd taste that its sheer intensity and class drops its guard. The price of the wine should be doubled, to reflect this perfect rendition of the varietal array of pink grapefruit and blood orange. There's great mouthfeel and precise balance." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

91 Points - "A light straw-yellow colour. The nose lifts with roast cashew and white peaches. Zippy and fresh across the tongue, with a vigorous acid line that keeps it moving with focus and drive to the finish. Layered over that acidity is a nutty loop of savouriness and there's just-ripe peach fruits throughout. Great value here." - Stuart Knox (The Real Review)

Hoddles Creek Estate

Hoddles Creek Estate lays a serious claim to being one of the best value producers in Australia.

Led by the extremely hardworking winemaking guru Franco D’Anna, the Hoddles team crafts wonderful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in particular that seriously overdeliver at all price points.

The wines are all made from fruit grown on their family vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley. A must-try for Yarra Valley fans and bargain hunters alike!

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.
