Description

John Duval is better known for his exceptional reds, which makes sense considering this is the only one white wine in his line up. But you better believe this isn't one to sleep on.

The 'Plexus' is a blend of Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier, taking inspiration from the white wines of the Rhone Valley in France. While it is rich and textural (as the style demands) it maintains its poise and is never flabby. It's a wonderful example of this famous style.

If you're a serious collector of premium Aussie wines then John Duval is a label you need in your cellar.

The objective of our Plexus white is to create a textured wine with vibrant expression of fruit aroma on the nose, and a palate of great flavour and structure enhanced by crisp acidity. Partial oak fermentation and maturation along with lees ageing promotes a seamless integration of the varietal components and enhances the textural elements of the blend.

Marsanne was sourced from Marananga, Roussanne from Kalimna and Viognier from Eden Valley.

Vibrant and lifted aromas of apricots and peaches, citrus and ginger flower.

92 Points - "John Duval's Plexus, a Rhône-inspired white blend, is consistently delicious. This release is a blend of 59/43/8% roussanne/marsanne/viognier. Plate straw in the glass, with vivid aromas of sherbety citrus and stone fruits, underscored by hints of soft spice, marzipan, clotted cream and white flowers. Detailed, pithy and refreshing, it's textural and moreish to the end." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

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.
