Description

A deliciously ripe and powerful Pinot, the Intrigue is a yet another outstanding wine from Jim Chatto.

Named after a racing yacht built in secret, it represents a clonal blend from their Isle Vineyard. Rich in plum, blueberry and dark cherry flavours with a good lick of structured tannins and great drive to the finish. Beautifully perfumed too, with market spices and florals.

Like all Chatto Pinots, could use a year or more in the cellar, or a good swish in the glass.

Intrigue is a wine blended from all 8 clones off our Isle Vineyard. Named after the famed Tassie racing yacht built in secret in 1984, in the shed that is today our winery. Intrigue is a slightly lighter framed expression of our site. High toned, with a complex mix of blue fruits and fragrant spices, making for an exhilarating rush to the senses. Intrigue has a plushness that is both highlighted and tamed with the natural tension between fruit, acidity and tannin. A wine for the hedonist in us.

96 Points - "Dried rose and exotic spice, cherry and dark raspberry, a little ozone, charcoal and wet earthiness. It’s medium-bodied, distinctly stony and ‘mineral’ in character, cool cranberry acidity, almost a blood character here, and blood orange too, very fresh and tightly-wound, with fine pumice stone tannin grip, firm and bright on a long cherry pip and woody spice finish, plenty of tannin and acidity tightening it up. Discreet power, is something that pops into my head. It’s an outstanding wine." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Chatto Wines

Jim Chatto is revered as one of the finest winemakers currently working in Australia.

His recent reinvigoration at Mount Pleasant in the Hunter Valley has received phenomenal critical acclaim, as has his personal Tasmanian project, Chatto wines.

After purchasing a plot of land that Jim describes as "right on the edge of viticultural possibility", planting began in 2007.

In only a short amount of time, this site has produced some extraordinary wines and looks set to become one of the Apple Isle most prized viticultural assets.

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.
