Description

"The biggest surprise:
The 2022 Folklore Chardonnay. At $15 AUD, this wine is superb."
- Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate - Great Wine Under $30)

Larry Cherubino has seriously pulled one out of his hat here. Show us a better Chardonnay, from anywhere, at this price and we'll buy (a lot!) of it...

The Folklore Chardonnay combines fruit from the Pemberton, Porongurup and Margaret River regions across Western Australia. It's barrel-fermented (which at this price is highly unusual) and delivers an incredible amount of flavour for the dollars asked.

It's rich but finely detailed, shapely in the mouth and leaves with a delicious, slightly saline mouthwatering finish. Unbeatable value for money.

"It's an insane value for the money at $15. Unreal. I didn’t know $15 Chardonnay could be this good!... Exciting stuff. It blows a hole in my "there's no good cheap Chardonnay" theory. Honestly, I'm relieved to be wrong."
- Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)

91 points - "The 2022 Folklore Chardonnay is lovely; its fleshy and sweet fruit is spiced up by juicy acidity and a briny sort of vibe in the mouth. It's an insane value for the money at $15. Unreal. I didn’t know $15 Chardonnay could be this good! It has all the toasty oak/curry leaf/salted peach/pink peppercorn descriptors banked up and waiting in the wings. Exciting stuff. It blows a hole in my "there's no good cheap Chardonnay" theory. Honestly, I'm relieved to be wrong.

This was tasted blind as part of the "Value for Money" tasting in September 2023. RRP $15 AUD." - Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)

    Really 4.5 stars

    Great value Chardonnay. It’s seriously better than cheap Chardonnay while not a truly premium quality wine. For the price it’s excellent. Hence 4.5 stars from me.

Picked from vineyards in Pemberton, Porongurup and Margaret River, this wine was fermented in 1 and 2 year old French oak, and matured for 10 months prior to bottling.

A bright and lively mid weighted Chardonnay with citrus and white peach accents finishing with creamy oak.

Larry Cherubino

Larry Cherubino is one of the real superstar winemakers of Western Australia.

Sourcing fruit from established vineyards throughout Margaret River and Great Southern, Larry waves his wand to craft what is one of the most consistently high quality and comprehensive wine ranges in the country.

The wines all deliver bankable quality at every price point. The acclaim from Australia's wine media will tell you just that.

As James Halliday once said himself, "The range and quality of his wines is extraordinary, the prices irresistible."

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.
