Description

This is a barrel selection from across the various De Iuliis Chardonnay vineyards, taking the best parcels of fruit and crafting them into this special wine.

As winemaker Milke de Iuliis explains, "It is the style of Chardonnay that we love to drink. Fine, elegant, complex and well balanced wine, nothing like the guys who made it!"

'Limited Release' in both name and nature - get onto this stunning, 95 point-rated Hunter Valley Chardonnay while stocks last.

95 points - "This is a best barrel selection. Much lighter on its feet than the ’22 standard release: lovely juicy mid-palate; good line, length and balance, as the late Len Evans might have said. 250 dozen produced, and each bottle numbered." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

THE STORY

In 2021 we selected the best barrels from our
Steven and LDR Vineyards and blended them to produce this
wine.

It is the style of
Chardonnay that we love to drink. Fine, elegant,
complex and well balanced wine, nothing
like the guys who made it!

THE VINTAGE

Low yields, small bunches and exceptional fruit profile were the
hallmarks of the 2021 vintage.

A good growing and picking season resulted in high quality fruit coming off our vineyards.

THE WINE

Subtle aromas of vanillin oak and melon, with a hint of green pear.

The wine is balanced with the creamy vanillan
texture from maturation in French Oak.

Medium length on the finish makes this a
balanced modern
Australian Chardonnay.

De Iuliis

De Iuliis - pronounced [de uli ~ iss] - is one of the brightest stars from the Hunter Valley.

Owners Joss and Anna De luliis first planted vines on their estate in the famous Lovedale sub-region back in 1990, but it wasn’t until their son Mike got involved after graduating from the world-renowned Roseworthy campus (Adelaide University) in 1999 that things really took off.

Today Mike crafts an excellent array of site-specific wines that are a very good modern representation of what the Hunter Valley has to offer.

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.
