Description

The ever-adventurous guys at Chalmers Vineyard have brought in the first ever Falanghina into Australia.

It's a hardy white grape that is mostly to be found in Campania in southern Italy. It thrives in warm climates, still maintaining great raciness and bite.

Citrus oil, almond, some nectarine richness on the palate - a great debut release. Look forward to seeing more Falanghina soon...

Chalmers Falanghina is the first commercially released Falanghina in Australia. At Chalmers we have a serious love for this promising variety for its complexity, drinkability and potential in the future of the Australian soils and wine industry.

This attractive wine is aromatic and racy, with notes of orchid and lime donating the nose. White stones and a persistent, tangy palate result in a wine with balanced tension and fresh appeal, think similar to a Riesling. Pair with aromatic, zesty dishes with an oily component such as Thai curry or Gyoza.

Region: Heathcote, VIC
Blend: Falanghina (100%)
ABV: 13%

93 Points - "Bitter lemon, almond meal, tangerine to quinine, a bitter punctuation to a long, leesy finish. Compact, pungent and gritty. Mid-weighted, vibrant and salty. Lovely length. This is a very good showing. Falanghina is a very late ripener, particularly well suited to this neck of the woods it seems. Drink or hold briefly. Screw cap." - Ned Goodwin MW (James Suckling)

93 Points - "Wheat and stone-fruit flavours put on an entirely convincing display here. This is a very attractive white wine. Exotic flowers, pulpy fruit, heaps of texture and enough character to keep you interested. Seek this out. It's very good." - Campbell Mattinson (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.
