Description

Onannon has long provided one of Mornington Peninsula's best sub-$50 Chardonnays, and this 2024 release is further proof that great minds (and winemakers) think alike. 

Crafted by the talented winemaking trio of Will Byron, Kaspar Hermann, and Sam Middleton, this release combines fruit from two prized sites in Tuerong and Red Hill, making for a Chardonnay that’s both lively and intricately layered.

On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe grapefruit, green apple, and a touch of salinity, with a light umami edge of white mushroom and miso. It’s a savoury, juicy Chardonnay that feels both complex and effortlessly refreshing. The texture is bright, with a lime-laced acidity that carries through a finely flinty finish.

Whether you’re a die-hard Victorian Chardonnay fan or just looking for something refined yet approachable, this Onannon beauty is hard to beat for value and sheer drinkability.

"This is beautiful. The Onannon wines are in terrific shape. This is a waxy chardonnay, bursting with peach, pink grapefruit, melon and honey flavours, the palate flavoursome but the finish honed and long. Hay and popcorn notes hover, as does a sweet, wheaty character. The end result is one hell of a delicious wine to drink."

A blend of six vineyards, from the sub-regions of Tuerong, Main Ridge, Shoreham, Red Hill South, Merricks and Flinders. A combination of machine harvested and hand-picked fruit. Grapes cooled overnight and pressed immediately to older French oak. No S02 added to fruit or juice, the oxidised juice is inoculated a few days later. 100 percent Malolactic fermentation. The wine was left unsulphured on gross lees with an occasional stir until being emptied for stabilisation. Cross-flowed and bottled in August with a minimal addition of SO2.

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.
