Description

The Black Star Sauvignon Blanc, made by South African-born winemaker Inus Van Der Westhuizen, is a terrific option for lovers of Marlborough Sauv Blanc.

Harvested in the cool morning, the grapes are destemmed, crushed, and pressed to stainless steel tanks to preserve their natural aromas and freshness. Fermented at low temperatures with neutral yeast, the wine retains a crisp, fruity profile.

This Sauvignon Blanc bursts with herbaceous notes, passionfruit, and ripe tropical fruit aromas. The palate offers a refreshing blend of citrus and tropical fruits, balanced by a clean, lingering finish. Its vibrant acidity and mild structure make it perfect for pairing with ceviche, salads, or seafood.

A really well-balanced little Sauv Blanc here and excellent value for money.

Black Star Wines are made from premium Marlborough fruit, and with little intervention, the wines are soft on acid with plenty of crunchy fruit notes quite typical of this variety from this region.

Black Star wines are made by Inus Van Der Westhuizen. South African born Inus grew up on a wine farm in the Western Cape, He gained a diploma in Cellar Technology at Elsenberg Agricultural College in Stellenbosch, where he then went on to work as assistant winemaker for 5 years.

After working in Pfalz, Germany he then relocated his family to the land of the long white cloud, and once settling in, Inus started honing his skills on the intricate characters of the wines from the greater Marlborough region.

The wines are designed to carry all of the regional qualities while integrating all of the texture and depth that make this an evolving category of wines.


SAUVIGNON BLANC

Our vinification is aimed at retaining the maximum possible fruit aromas as seen in the vineyard. The grapes were harvested in the cool of the morning, then destemmed, crushed and pressed to stainless steel tanks.

The fruit and wine is handled using anaerobic techniques. The juice was fermented at low temperatures with neutral yeast. After fermentation the wine is racked and cold stabilised before bottling.

Classically Marlborough, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc
immediately shows a mixture of herbaceous capsicum,
passionfruit and ripe tropical fruit aromas. It has a very
refreshing multilayered palate of citrus and tropical fruits. These flavours and aromas leave a fresh lingering finish on the palate making it a full satisfying wine with balanced acidity.

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.
