Description

Louis Schofield's Sauvignon Blanc comes from a single vineyard in Hope Forest. It's not your average affair from this region, a lick of skin contact and some time in seasoned oak really elevates this wine to a place of texture and serious complexity.

If you're looking for classic Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc, maybe keep looking but if you're after vivacious, lightly grippy Sauvignon with a wild streak - this will be right in your wheel house.

"Three days on skins, then pressed to old barrels. Once, it was all the rage to either completely obscure or wildly celebrate varietal character in sauvignon. This puts variety front and centre while also shaving off the brusque edges and building detail. Dried wild grasses, lemon in black tea, blackcurrant leaf and gravelly minerals. A leesy slip, sea salt and a lemon-pith fuzz complex the viscous texture, bright acidity shepherding through a moreish, mouth-wateringly long finish."
- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)

Sauvignon Blanc from a the Brackenwood Vineyard in Hope Forest in the Southern Adelaide Hills. Fermented wild in barrel, a Sauvignon that speaks of place, elegance, balance and texture, rather than the overt obviousness often seen in this variety.

Worlds Apart

Worlds Apart is the small adventurous label of winemaker Louis Schofield and chef Hannah Jeffery.

Louis was the protege and assistant winemaker of the late Taras Ochota. From the Ochota Barrels wine studio Louis sharpened his winemaking skills and attacks the World Apart wines with a similar low-intervention but high attention to detail philosophy.

The grapes come from small local growers who farm with a sustainable ideology. These are small-batch, high-energy wines that pop out of the glass with loads of personality.

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.
