Description

The 2024 Russian Jack Sauvignon Blanc is everything you want from Marlborough in one neat, vibrant package. Sourced from both the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, it blends the best of both worlds - bright tropical aromatics from the Wairau fruit and a fresh, mineral-driven edge from the cooler, wind-swept Awatere sites.

Named after a legendary vineyard worker known for his strength and generosity, Russian Jack is a wine that doesn’t overpromise but always delivers. It’s crisp and lively, with plenty of citrus and passionfruit character, backed by a mouth-watering acidity that keeps things snappy. Wild ferment? Fancy oak? Not here. This is a straight-up, no-fuss take on Sauvignon Blanc made to be enjoyed young and fresh.

Perfect for sunny days, seafood, or just catching up with mates over a bottle that won’t break the bank.

A distinctively Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Vibrant and punchy aromas of passionfruit and citrus lead the way with delicate herbaceous notes. A lively palate driven by tropical fruits, citrus zest & juicy green apple leads to a moreish acidity & a long, lively finish.

Our 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is comprised of fruit from our Wairau and Awatere Valley vineyards. The Wairau Valley contributes grapefruit and passionfruit aromatics, while the Awatere Valley brings a crisp acidity and distinct minerality that is characteristic of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Marlborough is New Zealand’s premier wine growing region located at the north-eastern tip of the South Island. Reputed as one of the top viticultural areas in the world, Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough is known for its extraordinary purity, bright aromatics and wet stone minerality.

Russian Jack is a Kiwi Legend. Originally from Latvia, his thick accent earned him the nickname ‘Russian Jack’ when he arrived in New Zealand in 1912. He spent most of his life travelling thecountry on foot picking fruit, clearing scrub and befriending locals. He was honoured with a bronze statue after his death in 1968. Russian Jack wines are an ode to the hard work of ‘swaggers’ like him who we have to thank for some of our great vineyards today.

Food Pairing: Try with mussel fritters or fresh seafood.

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.
