Description

The Macedon Ranges Chardonnay from Shadowfax is a delightful example of cool-climate Victorian Chardonnay.

Sourced from a couple different vineyards in the Macedon Ranges, sitting at around 740 metres above sea level, the cool nights help to keep the natural acidity in the grapes nice and high. This comes through in the end product, too, bursting from the glass with lemons and grapefruit, flowing into layers of nectarine with a little hint of creaminess.

Delicious stuff at a great price.

94 Points - "Excellent wine. Both complex and intense and with the persistence it deserves. Concentrated yellow stonefruit flavours meet nougat, preserved lemon, celery, custard and florals. The winemakers hands are on the wine but the fruit has the power and drive to free it. Super good. One sip and you know that you’re onto something; it has that immediate impact, that character, and it maintains it." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

This distinctive chardonnay bursts from the glass with white florals, lemon curd and nectarine fruit notes. Hints of lees derived cream add complexity, whilst a flick of mineral river stone lift the fragrance.

Lemon zest and tangerine fruits spill immediately onto the palate. These fruit flavours are augmented by wild ferment characters such as choux pastry and barrel spice complexity. The wine walks a tightrope, with sherbet acidity and lime pith falling off the side. The flowing palate is long and intense yet continually develops through your first, second and third glass. A great example of cold climate Macedon Ranges Chardonnay.

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.
