Description

While red wines take the lion's share of the limelight in the Barossa Valley, there are some incredible old vineyards that produce wonderful white grapes.

Semillon does particularly well in the Barossa.

These old vines produce fruit with a lot of intensity and concentration. Here the Kaesler team harness the power of one such vineyard and turn out a white wine which is crisp and crunchy and just too easy to drink.

A bucket of ice, a bucket of prawns and a cool glass of this and you'll be in a very good place.

95 Points - "Barossa semillon gets nowhere near the recognition it deserves, and here is a prime example of why we should all be drinking more of this classic wine. From a patch of 1961-planted semillon vines on the Kaesler estate near the southern edge of Nuriootpa. Water white with a splash of green and notes of crunchy green apple and lemon fruits with hints of marzipan, white flowers, crushed quartz and lemon zest. Dry, vivid and savoury on the palate with pristine fruit, sensational acid drive and all the detail, clarity and enjoyment you could hope for in a racy Barossan white wine. Coffin Bay oysters would be bliss." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

The grapes from this old single vineyard were carefully hand harvested in the cool of the morning, destemmed and pressed to tank at a cold temperature to keep the juice as fresh as possible. The juice was then given time to settle, racked and warmed to 17 degrees before the yeast was added and fermentation took place. Minimal intervention from grape to glass ensures the flavours and characters in the wine reflect the vineyard from which they came.

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.
