Description

Year after year, this wine is one of the pace-setters for cool-climate Chardonnay in Australia and the 2024 is no exception. From an early, low-yielding La Niña vintage comes a wine of superb focus and depth, embodying the understated power that’s become the signature of Yabby Lake’s flagship white.

Handpicked and whole bunch pressed, the juice was wild fermented in 500L French oak barrels (25% new) and left on lees for 10 months. The result is a beautifully layered Chardonnay, coiled and concentrated, yet with an effortless elegance.

Expect white stone fruits, grapefruit pith, citrus blossom and flinty, nutty complexity. There’s intensity here, but it’s tightly wrapped, with a piercing line of acidity and chalky structure that promises a long future ahead.

As usual, the quantities are small thanks to tiny yields. It's a much-loved go-to for lovers of finessed, mineral-driven Australian Chardonnay.

    wonderful palatable drink

    Very balanced, not to fruity. Leaves a fantastic after taste on the palate

aroma

The Chardonnay has orchard stone fruit, grapefruit, citrus blossom, a hint of roasted almond and a lovely flinty note underlying.
palate

The palate is youthful and intensely concentrated, there is a nice layer of almond meal and cashew nut from the barrel fermentation rounding out the fruit. There are layers of deeply textured and concentrated fruit. White stone fruit and pithy grapefruit weave through a tightly wound and piercingly intense, mineral finish that goes on and on.
cellaring potential

Cellar for at least five years, the wine will go well past 10 years.
vintage notes

The 2024 vintage was fine and early with low crops, resulting in finely poised wines.
vinification

Handpicked between 20 – 24 February and whole bunch pressed. The juice was transferred to 500 litre French oak barrels for natural fermentation. A 25% portion of which were new. The wines were aged on lees in oak for a further 10 months, prior to estate bottling in late January 2025.

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.
