Description

Charlie Seppelt and Skye Salter both love Cabernet, and 'claret' styles in general. The Whaite family, who own the Springs Hill Vineyard where they source their Shiraz, also had a block of Cabernet that was planted back in 1975.

And so, the lifelong dream of adding a Cabernet Sauvignon to their lineup was realised.

The wine has all of the hallmarks of the variety: blackcurrant, leafiness, graphite, and filled with heavenly aromatics. It's an elegant, refined Cabernet with fruit purity at the forefront. Divine stuff.

Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, fruit sourced from ‘Springs Hill Vineyard’, Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale grown by the Whaite family
Hand-picked, fully destemmed and crushed cold to a wax lined, 134yr concrete open fermenter. Mixed once daily until indigenous ferment commenced then two pump overs a day until dryness. One pump over a day until we were happy the tannins were where we wanted them. Two weeks on skins, pressed to tank for sugar dryness, then racked to a mix of barriques, hogsheads and puncheons, 23% new oak for 11 months. One rack and return off gross lees post malo.
Violets and bay leaf, blueberry, cedar, blackcurrants with HB pencil. Tightly framed, lithe and intense aromatics, a touch of graphite with a classical varietal sheath of aromas. Medium framed palate weight, structure is refined, discreet almost with fresh acidity and lovely tannins that quietly lengthen out the juicy primary fruit.

Region: McLaren Vale, SA
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon (100%)
ABV: 13.50%

94 Points - "Blueberry, blackcurrant, pencil, violet and mint. a little baking spice. Medium-bodied, saline, some black olive, silky mesh of tannin, juicy small berried black fruit, cool acidity, a little truffle and tobacco, and a sweet and toasty iodine-laced finish of excellent length. McLaren Vale Cabernet can be very good, and this is, indeed, very good. Svelte. Composed. Almost ‘classic’, you might say." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

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.
