Description

Big, bold, and full of flavour - the 2023 Little Giant Buttery Chardonnay is a true powerhouse. This wine is perfect for those who love their Chardonnays rich, creamy, and packed with personality. 

Sourced from premium vineyards across the Adelaide Hills, Little Giant ensures top-quality fruit in every bottle. Grapes are hand-picked at peak ripeness, fermented with 20% new oak, and given a touch of malolactic fermentation to build that signature buttery texture. The result? A wine that’s vibrant and rich, with a balanced freshness that keeps it from feeling too heavy.

Expect aromas of ripe stone fruit, lime, buttered bread, and cashew, with a palate that’s both fresh and mouth-filling. The oak influence brings a toasty warmth, while the buttery texture and long finish make this Chardonnay perfect for sipping on its own or pairing with rich dishes like roast chicken or creamy pasta.

If you love a Chardonnay that’s not afraid to go big, the 2023 Little Giant Buttery Chardonnay is your perfect match. Bold, buttery, and absolutely delicious!

SUMMARY

The southern hairy-nose wombat is smaller than other wombats but is stocky, robust and the proud state emblem of South Australia. Like the might of the little wombat, Little Giant is crafted from premium regional South Australian fruit from established vineyards that deliver character and interest well above their size and weight.

Hand-crafted and made with minimal additions and preservatives, these are wines made of the vineyard. The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness, minimally handled in the winery and fruit vibrancy is not hidden by non-essential artifact. Seeking first and foremost fruit expression, drinkability and to be a great accompaniment to food. Don’t let the size fool you, these are wines you’ll want to drink.

WINEMAKING

Sourced from vineyards located in the Adelaide Hills, planted to a mix of Bernard and Davis clone. Hand picked, whole bunch pressed straight to oak where it was fermented on full solids. This wine spent 3 months on yeast lees and six months in large format old French oak barrels.

TASTING NOTE

An excellent vintage although low yielding has produced high quality premium fruit, resulting in a classic Little Giant Chardonnay. Varietal Chardonnay nose of citrus, peach and subtle oak. The palate is textural exhibiting bold, flavoursome fruit well-supported by subtle toasty oak. A clean acidity on the finish provides length and drive. Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years. Pair with Pine Mushroom Risotto.

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.
