Description

The FFF SB delivers excellent drinking with interest at a very modest price-point, and also a cool initialism.

This is light, crunchy and the perfect thing to keep you cool on a warm afternoon. Passionfruit, some creamy, almost saline characters, a lick of cut grass and a slip of refreshing acidity right through the wine.

Chill it and kill it.

95 Points - "A single-vineyard wine from the Lone Star Creek vineyard. Whole bunches were crushed, beginning fermentation on skins before being pressed to 800L amphorae to complete fermentation. The result is a slightly different and excellent take on sauvignon blanc. Bright green gold, this leaps out of the glass with its aromas of fresh guava, passionfruit, kiwi and snow pea tendrils. The flavour-packed palate is bright, gently textured and balanced and the finish is crisp and long." - Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)

    A winner with 'red drinkers'.

    Enjoyed this Sav Blanc as part of a NY Day tapas/wine matched style lunch at home with friends. Had a few 'red only' drinkers who were convinced to try it with the dish (scallop in shell and prawn lettuce cup), lots of "that's not a bad white, I could drink that" comments and they did. Great value Sav Blanc. The use of an Amphora in the making of the wine was also a great conversation starter.

    Fantastic Victorian S blanc

    This wine is Great value and is in the French style of Sauvignon Blanc that is hard to find in Australia if you like that kind of thing. Full flavour and not too sharp

The super bright green fruit was hand picked from an old vineyard in the Upper Yarra and sorted before whole bunch pressing. The juice was transferred to an 800L Spanish clay Amphora (see photo) for fermentation and maturation on yeast lees before bottling unfiltered.

But how does it taste?

The nose is limey and chalky with a little passionfruit. It's fresh, pure and has a slight "desert earth" character coming from the Amphora. On the palate there's apple blossom and honey dew melon that's held in place by some pretty racy acidity. Lip-smacking Sauv.

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.
