Description

This is one of the original Australian Vermentinos by one of the country's leading producers of Italian variety wines.

The Chalmers family imported this clone of Vermentino direct from Italy in the late 90's. Since then, they have continued to refine the wine's style.

This is a crisp and racy style of Vermentino with all the signature spice and savouriness the variety is famous for. If you are looking for a good alternative to Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris, this hit the 'classic dry white' zone with a bit more zip and pizzazz.

The original and still one of the benchmarks for the wine style in this country.

Chalmers came out with Australia's first Vermentino wine in 2004 and it's since become a trademark line in the range, their 'go-to' white. There are now more than 100 winemakers working with the grape across this country and it's no wonder when it loves the sunshine and makes such delicious wines with ultimate drinkability.

Chalmers Vermentino is a truly unique iteration of the Mediterranean grape, a crisp and refreshing drink with white florals, soft stonefruit and a lick of saltiness, perfect for the Australian al fresco lifestyle.

93 Points - "Relatively straightforward in flavour terms but texture is key here. Citrus, fennel and floral characters move pleasantly through to a grippy, gummy finish. It's as much to do with subtlety and nuance as anything but there's something just a bit special going on here." - Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion)

91 Points - "Bright, taut, mid-weighted and salty across the chalky finish, this is good drinking. Preserved lemon peel, kumquat, honeydew and pistachio. A fine rendition of the variety, more Sardinian of feel than Ligurian. But that, in any case, is a poor comparison. This is quintessentially Australian. Drink or hold." - Ned Goodwin MW (James Suckling)

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.
