Description

Cool-climate Chardonnay personified here, this Yarra Valley offering from Rochford, is fragrant, floral, and very fresh.

Lots of citrus and floral stone-fruit in this wine, the minerality and acid keep everything fresh and taut, yet the flavours still shine through brightly and invitingly. A little bit of nuttiness and spice round things out quite nicely.

Yarra Chardonnay has its own unique character, and this estate wine fits nicely within that dynamic, give it some air and watch as the flavours and aromas unfurl before your senses.

90 Points - "In the fresh and easy-drinking category, albeit a tighter wine this vintage. A whisper of citrus, tangy acidity, lithe and good texture. Struts a savoury line too." Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

92 Points - "It's either lean or elegant, depending on your bent, though it doesn't really lack flavour, it just has a piercing aspect, most notably through the finish. It tastes of preserved lemon, nectarine, nashi pear, yoghurt and custard apple, though there's also a honey-nut character present throughout, and a gentle creaminess to the texture. It's impeccable, all told, in the leaner mould, and it should develop quite beautifully too." - Campbell Mattinson (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.
